After being in a coma for six months following a brutal and seemingly random attack, twenty-year-old Thomas Bennett awakens for only a total of thirty seconds to say a final word to his best friend Cameron Payne: "nights." Immediately after speaking that final word, Thomas passes away. In a state of shock and grief over the death of his best friend, Cameron doesn't even begin to consider what Tommy---as he affectionately called him---meant with his final word until a month after the funeral. He soon becomes obsessed with the cryptic message; and little by little, he begins to realize what happened to his best friend wasn't just some random act of violence committed by a stranger. With a suspect already charged and facing an upcoming trial, Cameron must beat the clock to discover and prove what really happened to Thomas. What he uncovers during his quest for justice will not only shake the foundation of Calhoun University, but will also bring to light the horrific secret agenda of a highly respected on-campus organization.

For what reason does one wake up every day? People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he would get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living -- something that was silly for others, but a salvation for him. For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it. At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better. On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates began to entangle as Laurence died, Florence killed himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when a dead man's soul reawakened in someone else's body. Set in a fictional Asian City called Perlientas. Mature topics: deaths, including self-killing (actual scene not depicted), mental health and other social issues, character thoughts that some may find disturbing or triggering. Despite those themes, the overall story's pretty tamed. Featured on: @Romance [Romantic Suspense] | September 2024 𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒖𝒌 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 - 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒚
