Discover the Dark Side of Small-Town Life!
Not all monsters have claws. Follow Codie Crestmount on a journey into darkness at razor’s edge.
The story of “Razor’s Edge” takes you to White Falls, an apparently peaceful town that is tilted by mysterious disappearances of girls month after month. Codie Crestmount, the unlikely heroine, is drawn into the darkness and hidden monsters. When her best friend vanishes, Codie must face her deepest fears and find the secrets lurking in her hometown’s shadows.
The idea for “Razor’s Edge” came from a vivid dream I had; it was an image of a town covered in perpetual darkness. From that dream, I twisted together elements from my fears, daydreams, and fascination with the mystery. Writing this book felt like making a complex puzzle. As Codie’s story spread, it became a reflection of my fears and the adventurous spirit I wrestle with.
Part Two: The Vanishing Girls of White Falls
Nestled within the bleak confines of White Falls—a small, perpetually sunless and starless town—its residents clung to the illusion of safety. Yet, as the mysterious disappearances of seven young women rattled the community, it became painfully clear that White Falls was anything but secure.
Codie Crestmount, now twenty-three, has lived her entire life shrouded in darkness, never once seeing the light of day. Haunted by an innate fear of the night, she begins to uncover the chilling truth: the shadows conceal far more than they reveal. Creatures lurk in the veil of darkness, and not everyone is who—or what—they seem.
As Codie unravels the sinister mysteries of her foreboding hometown, she finds herself entangled in a web of secrets too dangerous to uncover. Some truths, she realizes too late, are best left buried in the darkness.

A Professional Daydreamer and Dark Fantasies Writer
I never thought I’d be writing stories. In fact, words and I had a complicated relationship when I was younger. Reading wasn’t my strong skill—it was more of a mountain I had to climb. But something amazing happened along the way. With the help of patient tutors, endless classes, and a lot of persistence, I fell in love with words. They were my escape, playroom, and technique to build places I could only imagine.
In my day-to-day life, I teach esthetics and yoga. Faith and family are my anchors, keeping me leveled while my imagination soars. But I’ve always had a craving for adventure, even though it terrifies me. Writing the novel, “Razor’s Edge” has been my way of accepting uncertainty and unpredictability for myself.
I hope my stories can be that escape for you, just like they’ve been for me. After all, fate loves the fearless.
