Pepper Mills was tucked at the edges of a dense forest of tall, intertwining trees that cloaked the woods in a dark shroud. Hidden deep within the woods, a sinister presence had awakened from a centuries-long sleep, thirsty for the blood of the living. Neighbors began whispering to each other about the "Bog Beast" that watched them with blood red eyes from the edge of the forest. Folks had been warned to stay out of the woods, but not everyone was listening.

"Tell a lie once and all your truths become questionable" was a quote written with cheating men like her ex-husband in mind. Sunny had watched the ex-girlfriend get played like a fiddle and was enjoying each new episode of the new wife getting beat harder than a toy drum. Sunny was on a roll and just getting warmed up. Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but she preferred to serve hers hot.

Becky Weavers is found dead out on Lover's Lane after a heated exchange between her and Stella over a man they are both interested in. Stella and Becky have a long history of messing with other women's men and on more than a few occasions Stella has threatened to have Becky "eliminated." Stella swears she didn't do it and even has an alibi for her whereabouts, but she is still being considered the prime suspect. If what Stella says is true, then obviously, Stella is not the only person in town who wanted Becky dead for one reason or another. And if other people wanted Becky dead, who were they and why? As the news of her untimely death reached Becky's family, not everyone seemed saddened by the news. Her half-sister Donnica, for instance, seemed very relaxed, and somewhat un-disturbed by the news of her sisters mysterious death...which was very interesting considering how close the two sisters seemed to be in life. Donnica, a strikingly beautiful woman, was the product of Becky's dad's 2nd marriage to her stepmom, Monica, who he met and fell in love with shortly after Becky's mother, Janice, succumbed to the injuries she sustained in a head-on car collision when Becky was only three. Or at least, that was how the story was told. Monica DeLouise hailed from New Orleans and was known for dabbling in hoo-doo and the black arts. When Becky was found dead there were no visible marks on her body and no signs of a struggle. A clump of her hair was missing, which appeared to have been torn clean from her head, and a bloody chicken bone was found lying across her chest. Naturally, these signs started the town people's tongues wagging. Folks who attended church regularly on Sundays and called themselves Christians who you would have thought knew better still started whispering that Monica had something to do with Becky's death. Because even though Donnica and Becky grew up together as sisters, blood still ran deeper than water.
