Lindsey Knightley has had a strained relationship with her elder brother, Dylan Knightley, after her parents and sister died in a car accident. Seven years later, Dylan is now the head of their family business, Knightley Industries. As for Lindsey, she glides through the distant thunder and storm in silence.

Little does she know about the secrets of Edenfield written within this crimson- coloured diary. Secrets about her family's history in the Victorian era. Secrets that may cause a pandemonium even in the gardens of heaven. Along with her enthusiastic friend, Allison Crimsom, and quirky companion, Ethan Ingram, she tries to unveil them.

Games can be fun, but some games end rather badly. What happens when a young girl plays a game that catches the attention of someone that's not only bad, but deadly? Because once you kiss death... well... lets's just say that a killer doesn't kiss and tell... <3 This is a sample of my book. The book can now be found on Amazon, both as a paperback and as a digital book. It was free for five days in March 2020 to thank the wonderful readers here on Wattpad that supported me while I wrote the book. Thanks again for the support, it meant a lot. <3 NB! Warning some people might find this twisted love story disturbing. Stockholm syndrome* will be comming into play. The published version of the book is mature. The book starts off somewhat light, but it does get darker chapter by chapter. It is not recommended for a younger audience, nor for those who might take offense with strong language, sex scenes, non consensual acts, violence etc. Happy reading :D *Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These feelings, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Generally speaking, Stockholm syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.

When you are infected with the virus, there are four stages. 1) Your fever will shoot up and everything will become intensified on a maximum level. You'll lose grip on what's reality and what's illusion. 2) You'll start to slowly fall down the rabbit hole, forgetting the past and everything and everyone that you knew. 3) You face your imminent death. 4) You wake up with a pressing hunger for the living. It's been seven months since the pandemic hit with this virus and the world has been ravaged and left to ruins. Society has crumbled to nothing and more than three fourths of the population have been infected with the mysterious virus that took the world by storm. The virus has turned anyone infected into crazed flesh-eating freaks, with decrepit skin and red puffy eyes. The only way to kill them is by obliterating the brain. Elise Alice Gordon, Lease for short, led a simple life until the virus hit. Seven months later she is just barely scraping by. She's done what she's had to do to survive, and in that process she has created demons that haunt her every time she closes her eyes. See, it hasn't been easy trying to live in a dead world. She's lost friends, family, and everything she's ever known. The only thing she hasn't lost is her humanity and her hope. But she's afraid she's starting to. Because in this new world, there's only her, the dead, and the restless. © 2012 by Ashtyn Mane. All rights reserved.
