#SurvivalRomance #ForcedProximity #Fast-paced ⁍ Winner of the Wattys2020 Award ⁍ Wattpad brought the rights for it, although it already expired this year. (September, 2025.) If you ever take a headless selfie, pray that you don't live in Bastillio. Because in that city, it is the same as receiving a death sentence. It is proof that you are marked for death-a haunted-one who is targeted by a living shadow of eldritch origin which the citizens call the Shade. But when Vergil Torres found out he was a haunted, he was the opposite of scared. Because he knows that the government has built a shelter that has successfully kept haunteds alive for the past decades. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Vergil, together with his classmate and fellow haunted, the "traditional morena beauty" Cana Bernardo, decided to get to the bottom of it. The two classmates who were indifferent to each other must now work together if they are to survive through the month.

"Pretty girls like you get lost in these woods all the time, Alexa." On the night of Sebastián's annual Beginning of Summer Bash, amiable and adventurous Melody Tryniski went missing. What might have appeared as a juvenile escapade - a casual incident in eerie Levittown, Utah - turned into a missing person's case. Nobody knows what happened, but what they do know is that Melody was last seen with best friend Alexa King and boyfriend Logan Price. After two months with no trace of her, she returns to Levittown unharmed, unresponsive, personifying the town itself: solemn, eerie, quiet. However, Melody's long-awaited return is cut short when she's found brutally murdered in the comfort of her room. Questions begin to arise and it seems everyone in Levittown believes someone from her group of friends committed the awful crime. With outside media taking an interest in a town that's best left alone and a terror-stricken town willing to accuse anyone of the murder, Alexa King must find the truth behind Melody's death. But the truth is not always simple, it can sometimes be dangerous - and, as the scandalous revelation comes to the surface, she realizes she's challenging something more sinister. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° [Featured on Wattpad's Mystery Page: Bright Young Minds] [Previously won Best of Mystery/Thriller hosted by Wattpad's Mystery page] [Won Best Mystery/Thriller in The 2018 Readers Choice Awards] © all rights reserved Abigail F.
