Long Live the Queen

Introductions

Ingrid's lively younger sister, Lindsey, is dead. The girl who taught her everything she knows about the world and life and keeping faith until she can finally get out of their dreary life. Lindsey has killed herself to escape. Or at least that's what the police told her after she found Lindsey's body in their room, her wrists slit and a hastily written apology clenched in her fist. Despite the recent string of so-called suicides in their bustling city, she refuses to believe a single word of it. She knows her sister too well for that. At least she thought she did. Something about the note her sister left behind is off and Ingrid knows there's something wrong. She searches for anyone who can help her learn the truth. Which leads her to-

Jack has lost everything in only a few short hours. His older brother Aaron, who raised him when his disabled mother couldn't and their scumbag father wouldn't, has disappeared without a trace. He had gone to their room to work on his newest mystery project and he was gone when Jack went to tell him that some girl was at the door for him. The police told Jack to consider him dead after they found the bloody note. After all, Aaron was a legal adult with the ability to leave home if he wanted. But Jack knew better than that. His brother hadn't written the note, Jack knew it for sure, despite the way the police ignored his suspicions. They told him to move on and take care of himself but he doesn't have time for that, now that a girl has enlisted his help in finding her sister's killer and promised to help him find-

Hobbes is an accessory to more than one terrible crime. He knows it, he has already accepted it. Denial has always been one of Hobbes' favorite things. Despite the many chances he has had to back out of the game they're playing and tell the police what they've done, he has stayed loyal to the cause he was accidentally yet intentionally roped into. That doesn't mean he has to like that he's become a criminal. Being the sidekick to a clever killer isn't all it's cracked up to be but Hobbes hasn't made an attempt to change his path. In a life that's free of his past responsibility, the girl he's had a crush on for years seems to really like and care about him despite the fact that she's murderer and-

E is lost. She woke up in a shallow ditch, almost like a hastily dug grave, on the side of an unfamiliar road with no memory of how she got there and a bloody stab wound in her side. Her name escapes her, facts so simple that she should know them in her sleep elude her, and she has no idea who she is anymore. She only knows two things for sure: somebody tried to kill her and she wants to find them. Unsure of what her role is in the killings she learns about from the police officer who shows up in her hospital room, E is determined to solve the mystery that everyone else in the small city is baffled by as well as discover who she is. A dead girl walking, the only thing she recalls is a girl and she's determined to remember-

Maia ties it all together. The suspected psychopath behind a number of false suicides is just an eighteen year old girl. A popular, smart, friendly girl who faked her own suicide. Despite frantic questions from her lovestruck sidekick and regrets over the things she has done, Maia continues to fulfill the demands of keeping her game of cat and mouse going. The police can't pin all of this on a dead girl, she shouldn't be worried about getting caught. But she is. Every minute of her day is spent with worrying about getting caught but at the same time, she doesn't care anymore. The prom queen turned killer has a motive but nobody knows it, not even her.
