The next day, Serena and Elodie go out to the same cabin that the girl was when she was murdered, and they find their friend, Ellie, was murdered the same way that the girl was 100 years ago. Serena is determined to figure out who killed the two girls. As she digs into the past and present, she learns that there's something, a monster greater and more powerful than anything that she has ever heard of. And somehow, she's going to be able to stop it.

    ✨COMPLETED✨ WRITTEN BY KIT WALKER The Candy Shop on Fifth Street was an off-limits destination for every kid in town, and everyone knew this, too. But this didn't explain why children seemed so dead set on going to that Candy Shop. It also didn't explain why no one saw them again. Or why suspiciously timed candy bar releases occurred only days after a child disappeared. It wasn't until Carolina Jones went missing that someone decided that enough was enough. The only issue? A twelve-year-old girl, her seventeen-year-old brother, and her brother's fifteen-year-old best friend are the ones that decide that something must be done. Stick around to see what happens when the uncoordinated and constantly bickering trio of Marley, Jonathan, and Emma set out to battle the evil Candy Shop owner. Will they be the next candy released? Or will Emma kill Jonathan and Marley out of annoyance before the Candy Store owner even has a chance to?
