🏆Wattys 2019 Winner for Mystery & Thriller🏆 Sister Mary has lost her way, or so people think. Kicked out of her convent and sent away to be reformed, this jolly nun discovers her gift of glee is perfect for solving murders and the occasional naughty peek. ________________________________________ Merry Sister Mary is the world's most happy-go-lucky nun, and where the nuns are concerned, possibly the worst. She has none of the qualities reserved for a traditional lady of the cloth: a fear of water, an odd relationship with an umbrella, and no talent in teaching or nursing, yet Sister Mary believes she has a special God given power, laughter. Such a belief has led her to be kicked out of her convent in Chicago for accidentally flashing a group of churchgoers and deemed in desperate need of reform. She is sent on a bus to a stricter convent in New Orleans, Louisiana, but in a drama fueled twist, God has different plans for the joyous nun. She is to solve a murder. After missing the bus Sister Mary is forced to seek refuge with a Catholic family in the small town of St. Francisville. A horrific murder occurs sending the town into a frenzy of bittersweet joy. The person killed has long been despised and so named the Stanton Witch for the mystery surrounding her husband's death and the decades of misfortune since her arrival. In an effort to expose the truth, Sister Mary finds herself in the middle of one family's terrible and insidious secret. As the bodies pile up she uses her gift of glee to uncover the clues missed by the police and hopefully stop the killer from claiming another innocent victim. Her goal-- prove to the world once and for all that one does not need to be traditional to make a difference.

Much like the familiar face that sat beside her pleading me to not play with her life Wrong. As pure usual with him. "I'm not going to kill anybody-" "You will if you want your friend to live." He said pulling out his gun shooting the pavement near her bare feet. I shook my head frantically pulling at the binds on my wrist as he walked to stand chest to chest with me. Turning my head to the side he rubbed his nose against my cheek, and whispered something in his mother tongue. "I can't." I said letting out a heavy sigh. "Then you'll marry me, and you'll stop this little all girls rebellion immediately." My binds were cut as he held the knife out to me saying last chance. Last chance, and I wasn't going to waste it. Pulling the knife from him I walked up to the strange girl. "I'm sorry." ---------------------------------- Updates every Thursday..... Probably sooner cause I love writing

'He had been an inferno these past six months, burning so hot and for so long he feared there was nothing left but ashes.' This is a story of violence and destruction, of friendship and healing. - There is drug use, themes of self-harm and some consent issues (NOTHING graphic). But please don't read if these issues may upset you. NOTE: This story is populated with characters from "The Raven Cycle" series by Maggie Stiefvater. You do NOT need to have read those books in order to read/enjoy my story. (However, you should read TRC anyway because it's an AMAZING series.) I do NOT own these characters or the setting. I'm merely borrowing them for a short while to tell this angsty little tale.
