Everything crumbles down in front of Vienna’s eyes as she finds herself losing her band members one after the other to horrific circumstances. Except Madison.

Things Don’t Break On Their Own By Sarah Easter Collins
Grief does not have a timeline. One just learns how to co-exist with it. It will always weigh on your heart, but you learn how to move in life with that everlasting heaviness.
Willa has been grieving the disappearance of her sister Laika since she was 13 years old. Laika disappeared on her way back home, and ever since, nobody has managed to figure out what exactly happened to her.

She is shocked when she discovers that the closure she longed for has been a secret held captive between one of the invitees’ lips for years now.

Broken Bayou By Jennifer Moorhead
Running away from your past can only get you so far. Eventually, it will catch up with you when you least expect it.
Dr Willa Walters finds herself in hot water with the public after a certain debacle that could potentially ruin her career as a child psychologist. She runs back to her hometown Broken Bayou, Louisiana, a place she knows all too well, as she spent countless summers there with her aunts.
Willa knows going back can open a can of worms that if she had the choice, but she had left something years ago in her aunt’s house, and she needed to retract it. Being at her aunt’s old house brings back memories that she has been trying to bury.
However, while the house is cursed by phantoms of her past, her hometown’s present is haunted by a serial killer. Normally, Willa has nothing to do with these murders, or so she thought. Her past intertwines with her present and drowns her in a seemingly inescapable reality.
