Witty, quick-tongued, offensively funny, Kara Knight has a dark past that she ran away from 12 years ago, she knows how utterly cliché that sounds, but it's true. Starting her life anew in New York, she became a successful author, an acclaimed professor at a prestigious university (her students made that career less enjoyable), and on her approach to becoming a detective. Winter breaks was her chance to relax, kick back and enjoy in solitude and isolation, just her and her crappy, reality television. However, fate had other plans...
Invited back to her old town in Montana, Everwinter, she arrives to catch up with an old friend. When a gruesome homicide takes place, the town is sent into a frenzy, essentially in the light of the fact that it's the first murder to take place since the Everwinter Churner case... and because it's the bratty child of the benefactors that fund the independent town. With a deadly winter storm brewing and the nearest police headquarters nearly 2 days away by car, the local deputies are turned to for help.
Kara, unfortunately, has the bad luck of being recognized as a detective in training, she's the closest thing the town has to a competent, intelligent cop and too bad for her, she's quickly warped into the investigation.
When two more murders take place, a chilling dread settles over the town and Kara races to catch the serial killer before more people are killed.
A thriller murder mystery with enough dark humor to bring tears to your eyes while you shiver under the blankets, Dig Your Own Grave will be the death of you. Let's hope Kara can catch the killer before the aforementioned figurative assertion turns quite literal.

"Are you gonna admit you like this yet?" "No!" I yelled, kicking my legs out at him. He smiled and leaned forward, catching my ankle as I froze. "Don't worry, baby. I'm going to worship your body like the innocent little thing you are, completely corrupting you before you can even think. "By the time I'm done with you, you're going to be screaming my name and begging me to let you cum. That said... "IF YOU CAN EVEN LAST A SECOND OF THIS." ➿⭐︎➿⭐︎➿ Emily Wolfe is the exact definition of innocent. Not necessarily in the childish sense, but her curiosity can sometimes be untamed. She developed insomnia from her father, Asher, and every night takes medications that make her a little crazy before she sleeps. And she remembers a man that always comes into her room just before she sleeps... her comfort character. But he's more than just imaginary. He's real. But being stalked is in the back of her mind, because she's been researching the death of her aunt after she'd been kidnapped... and all of it leveled back to a circus. Though... she could feel him watching her, but every time she looked, he was gone. He's gotten good at hiding. And even better at plotting.Complete![Finding My Lost Self [to be edited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/10555633-256-k433968.jpg)

Killer Love 18+(GXG)
"Do you know what I do to girls who don't answer when they're spoken to?" she murmured, her voice dripping with quiet menace under the mask. "N-no," Salma breathed, her voice barely audible as she kept her eyes locked on Nerezza's dark eyes. Nerezza hummed, tilting Salma's chin up with a gloved hand, her grip firm but teasing. "I fuck the answers out of them," she whispered, each word slow and deliberate. ••••• Salma, a well known radio show host, is used to strange calls-but nothing like this. One Wednesday morning, an anonymous woman dials in live on air, her voice low, dripping with eerie amusement as she confesses to a murder. Convinced it's a twisted prank, Salma plays along, her tone teasing-until the caller whispers something only Salma could know. What starts as a disturbing coincidence spirals into a chilling obsession. Night after night, the woman calls back, turning Salma into her unwilling confidante, her chosen messenger. Each call comes with cryptic clues, taunts wrapped in silken words, a deadly puzzle Salma is forced to solve-because if she doesn't, she'll be the next victim. But fear gives way to fascination. Then obsession. As the game between them intensifies, Salma finds herself drawn to the voice on the other end of the line-a voice that knows her deepest fears, her darkest desires. The hunt for the truth becomes a tangled web of danger, passion, and something far more dangerous than death. They should be enemies. One is the hunter, the other the prey. But what happens when they fall in love?
