Her father was killed, more like slaughtered in half, and her mother went running deep into a forest and still hasn't come back. Bailey had never felt so faraway from home, so lost in a world where she thought she could belong, and so murdered - the next thing she might do is bury herself in the ground. Her life with her new family never really made a difference in her past. But this only changed when she started hearing knocks in the basement of the mansion, when she begun hearing strange things around Little Creek, and when she found a lonely-looking boy in an abandoned villa - exceptionally handsome, and blatantly dead.

Highest Ranks: |Mystery/Thriller #1| |Action #3| I was trained my whole life to disarm a grown man using nothing but a credit card, nail files, and a sock if I'm lucky. Becoming a cheerleader sounded laughable compared to everything I've done. But I soon learn that balancing spirit weeks, cute boys, and curling wands along with nuclear weapons, evil psychopaths, and rogue agents is a lot more work than I thought. I mean would you suspect a varsity cheerleader to be a spy working for the CIA? Or Interpol? The FBI maybe? Of course not which is why it works. Never judge a book or a girl by her cover. ••BOOK 1 IN THE JUST UNDERCOVER TRILOGY•• *cover by @THEICEWOLVES
