His hand shifts under my sweater cuff, sliding up to my forearm. ''Tell me you don't feel it.'' I brush my fingers over his collarbones, just above the worn edge of his shirt. Beneath it, I feel the faint shift of muscle, the stutter in his breathing. He kisses me hot and hard. Like a collapse, His hands slide under my clothes to my neck and my hair where they make fists. My scalp prickles. He lets me taste a future with him, to feel it in the thrust of his tongue and bite of his teeth. I'm panting, and aching, and still, we know this won't change anything. Still, he kisses me bruised. 𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 BOOK ONE C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ violence/abuse/trauma ❤︎ flawed characters (and development) Copyright © 2018-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

COMPLETED! When most popular girl at Riverbrook High, Mia Geredy, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the entire school stands in shock. Her best friends-Jade, Ashley, and Diana, better known as the Holy Trinity -are squarely in the midst of flying speculations and whispered gossip: murderer, murderer, murderer. One week since deactivated, Mia's Instagram account mysteriously comes back to life with spine-chilling posts: coded threats, graveyard taunts, and inside information that only Mia and her killers could know. Riley, a self-described wallflower who happened to witness something three months ago, is brought into the terror. When Mia's testimony puts her in the position of being the only outsider with a piece of the puzzle, Riley must decide what to do: shut her mouth or sort out the mystery before the next "ghost" starts blogging. But there's someone watching-someone who knows more than they should. And when secrets are revealed and ancient whoppers rise to the fore, Riley asks herself: did Mia ever leave? One thing is certain. Dead girls don't post.

When a kidnapper goes on the loose, Sidney's overprotective parents won't let her go out. The teenager takes this opportunity to go out with one of her friends and prove to her parents that she can take care of herself. But things don't go as planned. ----------------------------------------------- started: august 26, 2024 finished: november 10, 2025 warnings: swearing, death, violence, suicide. age rating: +14 although this book is a work of my imagination and is not necessarily based on a specific story, there are lots of kidnappings that happen every day, which is why i got the idea to write about one. thanks for choosing this book, enjoy! <3 cover by @ghost_of_a_girl09 <3
