In 2045, Psychwatch treats the mentally ill or cages them. Margo wants to bring empathy to every patient but a killer pushes her, and the system, to the limits ***** In a dark future, more than a third of the United States population suffers from mental illness and violent crime is on the rise. In response, Psychwatch is formed - an organization intended to combine mental healthcare and law enforcement - creating monitored areas and neglected ones known as the Psycho Slums. Margo Sandoval is the latest recruit to Psychwatch, bringing a new level of empathy to the controversial agency known for its unforgiving methods. Margo spends her days as an Empath treating everyone possible, until the arrival of a new serial killer upends her life and forces her to confront the evils of the human mind and the system that claims to be the solution.

Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.

Jenny Cartwright was the kind of girl everyone in Willow Creek claimed to love-sweet, helpful, always smiling. She was a straight-A student and part of the popular clique at Willow Creek High. But unlike the typical high school queen bee, Jenny never mocked or bullied anyone. She treated everyone with kindness, regardless of their background, social standing, or quirks. She had plenty of friends-and, as far as anyone knew, not a single enemy. But a week before junior prom, Jenny's body was found in a decaying alley on the edge of town-beaten, bruised, and horrifyingly mutilated. She'd been perfectly fine the day before. So what happened to her? Who could have done this-and why? Highest ranking: No# 1 in INVESTIGATION. #1 in SOLVE. #1 in SOLVING. #11 in DECEPTION. #1 in MURDER MYSTERY
