Darkness to surround us both by MaivLis55

'When you inherit a name like mine-Holy Day (yes, Holy with one 'L')-innocence isn't just lost; it's discarded. You grow thick skin, thicker defiance, and develop zero tolerance for judgment.' Holy Day isn't addicted to substances that poison the body; her vices are far more dangerous. Her cravings corrode the mind, distort reality, and leave emotional ruin in their wake. Her addiction is desire-a seductive curse-and the only thrill that keeps her nightmares at bay. As a favour to her only friend, Alex Robbinson, Holy reluctantly agrees to see a psychologist to discuss her so-called "problems." Society may see her lifestyle as a descent into madness, but Holy enjoys it, finding pleasure in the trauma that has shaped her. She embraces her scars like trophies. Therapy is just another game, and she loves bitter truths like her morning coffee-black and sharp. While Holy dutifully attends her therapy sessions and confronts her past, Alex, a detective teetering on obsession, faces a storm of violence in the present: a murderer is wreaking havoc in town and the victims are all women. As the body count rises, his concern for Holy's proclivities grow, distracting him from the case. The final dance between predator and prey begins, secrets unravel, and obsession leads to betrayal. Can Alex catch the killer before Holy becomes his next tragic case? Or will her darkness consume them both?

In a small, quiet town where everyone knows everyone else's secrets, a group of childhood friends is forced to confront their darkest mistake. Years ago, they covered up a murder they committed as teenagers, convinced that silence was the only way to escape the consequences. But when a series of brutal killings begins to mirror the events of that fateful night, the group's carefully constructed facade begins to crumble. As the killer gets closer, they are confronted with a chilling truth: the past is never truly buried. Someone knows what they did. Someone wants revenge. Elliott "Eli" Thatcher, haunted by the weight of the cover-up, feels guilty for his role in hiding the truth, even though he wasn't directly involved in the crime. Caleb Pierce swears he's moved on, but he's still clinging to the lies they told all those years ago. Ronan McClain, the former bully, is still the same, pushing the group to cover their tracks as the tension grows. Elena "Ellie" Harper is the one who begins to connect the dots and digs deeper into the mystery, slowly uncovering the identity of the killer. And Sophie North, the former lover of Eli, is torn between protecting her past and unearthing the truth that threatens to destroy everything. As the killer's motives become clearer, the group must reckon with the consequences of their actions and decide whether they can live with the weight of their silence-or if they will finally reveal the truth before it's too late.
