When her partner vanishes without a trace, Mara ventures deep into the wilderness that has already claimed too many before him. The villagers warn her the forest remembers what you forget, but she refuses to turn back—because if Liam is still alive, she has to find him.

The deeper Mara pushes into the overgrown trails, the more the woods close in. Strange spirals carved into the trees seem to point her forward. A voice calls her name from beneath the moss. And when she finds Liam’s belongings scattered among the ruins of an abandoned firewatch tower, Mara realizes she’s not just chasing a man—she’s following a memory unraveling in real time.

But the forest plays tricks. Dreams slip into waking hours. Fragments of the past refuse to line up. What she discovers doesn’t just blur the boundary between truth and illusion—it rewrites who she believes she is.

Every step takes her closer to the secret the woods have kept for decades. Every breath feels like one the forest has already taken.

She thought she was searching for the man she lost. But what if the thing that’s missing has always been her?

In Whispers, Dark, memory is unreliable, love is laced with betrayal, and the only way out may be to surrender to what you can’t remember.

Will Mara uncover the truth, or will she become just another whisper the forest keeps?

This novel is part of REVERB!, an interconnected collection of standalone supernatural thrillers.

In REVERB!, twelve standalone supernatural thrillers unravel the dark space between the spoken and the unspeakable. Each story drops you into a different haunted setting—abandoned houses, cursed forests, forgotten towns—where a single whisper sparks a chilling unraveling of truth, memory, and fate.

From grieving parents and haunted investigators to broken lovers and trapped strangers, every protagonist faces a unique descent into the unknown. These aren’t just ghost stories. They’re psychological collisions, where what’s buried doesn’t stay buried, and what speaks in the dark may not want to be understood—only obeyed.

With atmospheric suspense, slow-burning dread, and unforgettable twists, this series pulls you to the edge and dares you to listen. Because once the whisper starts, it never stops.

REVERB!

The past doesn’t haunt you. It waits.
