Say Your Goodbyes to the Light by Unknown Author

Elliot Marsh thought he had committed the perfect crime. The evidence was buried, the trail was cold, and his victim, Delyla, was silenced forever. But guilt is a shadow that cannot be outrun, and Elliot soon discovers he’s haunted—not just by his own conscience, but by Delyla herself. It starts innocently enough: whispers in the dead of night, flickers of her face in mirrors, and the oppressive chill of a presence he refuses to believe is real. At first, Elliot dismisses it as paranoia—his mind cracking under the weight of what he’s done. But Delyla’s ghost grows stronger, turning his world into a waking nightmare. She invades his thoughts, manipulates his surroundings, and forces him to confront the life he destroyed and the dark corners of his soul.

Elliot's journey into paranoia is so absorbing as Delyla's ghost grows stronger, pressing him to confront his worst acts. The pacing keeps you hooked, with twists and a hauntingly vivid portrayal of Elliot's unraveling mind. What struck me was how well the author captured Elliot's fear and desperation, and it was as if his torment was palpable. Intense plot, multi layered characters, and effectively woven supernatural elements that raise the tension. A few sections tend to be a bit repetitive, but all in all, this is one engrossing tale of guilt and justice. Ideal for readers who enjoy eerie and suspenseful stories.
