Having been adopted from Hong Kong at just three months old, Lia Casey has never known anything about her birth family: who her parents were, why she was given up for adoption, and how she came to an adoption agency halfway around the world from where she was born. Her adoptive parents have always maintained they were kept in the dark. About everything.

So when Lia turns 18, she thinks it's just like any other birthday. But she receives two surprises that day. The first is that her adoptive parents know more about her adoption than they've been letting on. 

The second is that someone is trying to kill her.

Piecing together the information about her adoption, her parents, and their past may be the only way Lia stays alive. Now, it's a race against the clock to answer the questions that Lia has always had. 

Someone is determined to keep those answers secret. And they're willing to do anything to keep it that way.

There will be some instances of profanity, as well as some violence. However, I maintain that there will never be any actual in-depth descriptions or extreme use of profanity, though there will be scenes of violence that I have to include for the plot's sake. I will do my best to ensure that those scenes are not too graphic or violent.

The Oak Harbor Massacre. A sweet sixteen party. Eight murdered. Others injured. Among the dead Rylan's parents & twin sister. What started off as a night with family & friends under the stars & twinkle lights endes in a bloody scene of screams & death. For years Rylan led everyone to believe she didn't want to speak of that night. Any part of that night. Magical or horrific. When in truth is Rylan has no memory of the attacks that night. Only what she had seen on tv or the internet over the years. And from the scars that covered her body from the brutal attack on her. Six years later Ryaln returns to her family's summer home to finally say goodbye to the past & put the house on the market. And maybe just maybe jog her memories. Was the face of the killer hidden away somewhere in the recesses of her mind? Would being back in Oak Harbor, back in that house, wake her memories? With plans to only stay a month Rylan gets right to work on the house with no intentions of reconnecting with old friends from that horrific night. But life has other plans for Rylan Somers. Old friendships grow stronger. New relationships get started. Lies are exposed. And the nightmare wakes back up ans this time is has a name... Nefarious. Will Rylan Somers make it out alive again? Or will Nefarious finally have the revenge they seek? I am posting the first four chapters of my book Nefarious here on Wattpad. The full book can be purchased online. I always make sure to disclose that even though I work long and hard hours on all my books they are by no means perfect. There are mistakes from grammar and punctuations. I apologize in advance if you feel you have wasted your time and or money on my works. Thanks.
