Human bodies are a complex scientific system. Let's talk about the genes that make us up. While there are some genes which we inherit from our parents, some are present in our bodies itself. As for Ava James, she had an incredibly rare gene called the SAR2 - aka The Serial Killer gene. She didn't know this up till now.
Ava James is an ordinary but talented young woman. She and her mother shared the same long brunette hair. Her eyes were what stood out the most in the family - deep honey eyes. It was almost as if they told an entirely different story. Being 5'7 with a lean, tan body, it is no surprise that she often was the center of attention. Playing on the keys and binge-watching murderer and romantic movies is Ava's favourite past time. Ava's life was colourful, until she moved to Italy with her mother and stepdad from Manhattan. What followed was a gloomy series of dreadful events along with a badass boy she falls in love with. Isn't it so classic?
