Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉

19 parts Complete Mature
Five years have passed since the massacre at Westin Hills. Only two emerged from the nightmare - Raven and Michael - scarred but breathing. They've spent half a decade running from the shadows, suffocating the screams behind locked doors and fake smiles. But trauma doesn't fade. It festers. And nightmares don't die. They wait. Now, teens are dying in their sleep again - marked by the same grotesque brutality. Raven knows what this means. Who it means. Y/N is back. Once a man. Now a myth. Her biological father - the monster burned alive by vengeance and reborn through rage. A demon carved from injustice, fire, and bone. The thing that watches from behind closed eyes. As the body count rises, Raven and Michael are dragged back into the world they've tried so hard to escape: the dreamscape - Y/N's twisted kingdom, where the rules of reality dissolve and terror takes form. But this time, survival isn't enough. This time, it's personal. Because Raven isn't just running from Y/N. She's becoming him. His blood surges through her veins. His darkness whispers to her in sleep. And as the line between waking life and nightmare blurs, Raven must confront the legacy she never chose - and a truth far more terrifying than death: You can't kill what lives inside you. To end the nightmare, Raven will have to go deeper than ever before - into the fire, into her past, into herself. But some nightmares don't want to end. Some nightmares are inherited.
