However, things are not always as they seem, and when new evidence is brought to light regarding their innocence, Adeline and her little brother, Billy, make it their mission to find out the truth.

Meanwhile, the true killer hides in plain sight - watching, waiting, plotting. He knows what they're up to, and there's no way in hell he'll ever let them find out the truth. Can Addie and Billy unravel his crimes before the brothers hang - or, more importantly, before he strikes again?

Broken Shell Of Hope by redbean657

Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I dont anything that you see in every story ever.
