Two women are horribly murdered. The town fears that there is serial killer, but it might not be what it seems. FBI Agent Ricky Lopez, digs deep and finds out the truth.
                                                                 ****

Two women are seemingly 'murdered' and chopped up on the same day. The whole town fears that a serial killer committed the gruesome crime, as serial killings were popular in the USA at the time. When Detective Liz Smith opens an investigation, she realizes that indeed both crimes were committed by the same person, but something wasn't right. So she calls up and old acquaintance; Agent Ricky Lopez, who she met at a Criminal Psychology conference. Agent Ricky Lopez and Detective Smith begin to unfold truths, just until Detective Smith was stabbed three times at her father's retirement party. Agent Ricky Lopez fills in the gaps himself and reveals the truth in a chillingly-interesting interrogation with the perpetrator. Be warned though, this book is not as straightforward as portrayed in this summary, as timeline and perspectives are shuffled, making it a lot more baffling. A Short story, first of a series.

The Monster seems to only be interested in Maria and targets her specifically, She has no clue as to why it's haunting her, no, hunting her, but she's determined to find out and put a stop to it before it can send the grim reaper her way.

Kill Who You Want by bigimp

What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open wound

Nightmares Do Come True by TheresaSaintsational

A serial killer is on the loose. He hunts his victims based on their nightmares which he uses against them. Watch as agents rush against the clock to save victims from falling prey. One Agent will do anything to protect the one he cherishes. There will be sex scenes so I have marked this appropriately as an adult book with mature content. This will be the only warning. I won't put further warnings in my story. I'm still working on this story but I've got a quite a lot of chapters already written. I'll post the prologue and first 5 chapters and from there I'll see. I don't want to post too much and have y'all catch up with me. I want to keep you from having a waiting game, but I'm not going to make any promises. I hope y'all enjoy! Another note from me. I wrote these first chapters a year ago so I forgot that the serial killer does sexually assault his victims as their deaths are a turn on for him. They don't know it though. I could never write that kind of scene. At least as far as I know I can't. So like I said this story is definitely for adults. I'm going to update per my writing. If I write a new chapter then I'll update with a new chapter on here. So for example today I wrote 3 chapters so I updated with 3 chapters.
