A Paranormal Thriller Psychology professor Denton Reed has been pulled out of the classroom to find a killer. Bodies are turning up all over the quiet town of Bexhill. They are found dismembered and burned beyond recognition in a snow covered farmer's field, by the abandoned mill, and under the train bridge. The only clue linking the victims is the bizarre figure-eight patterns left behind in their homes. Denton must use his unique profiling techniques to uncover the murderer, who the police have dubbed Mr. 8. As he begins to unravel the mystery, a strange pattern begins to emerge. Before their deaths, each victim was seized by dark obsessions and inexplicable changes in behavior. Whatever strange forces are affecting the people of Bexhill, they may actually be more dangerous than any killer. As a wave of insanity sweeps the town, Denton will put his life on the line to get to the source of the madness and risk all to protect the woman he loves. But is it already too late?

Cherry blossom lipstick: check Smokey eyes: check Skinny jeans: check Dead kid in the mirror: check For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too. Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. There's a little glitch this time. The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally. Everyone thinks she's just another runaway. Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered. Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

She has secrets, secrets you’ll never know, secrets you’ll never understand. She’s someone that looks so strong with her knives and guns on the outside. But inside, inside her world is constantly spinning upside down and never right. She smiles and stands tall to the outside world, but in her inner world she is crying and breaking down. To the eyes of others she seems so happy, but when those eyes are closed, and left alone with her pillow to share her tears with. She is aware that she cannot get her hopes up in life because they always come crashing down. She’s heard everything before and felt it; she’s experienced more than her share. She trusts no one because all the people she has already trusted left her to gather all the pieces. She believes in no one because people she has already believed in lied and betrayed her. Now in the present she keeps everything to herself and pretends that everything is fine, but if truth be told nothing is fine. I’ve known this girl since birth because this girl is me. And I am Kiara, just Kiara.
