I'M NOT LIKE THEM by JuliaThompson843

College was supposed to be a new beginning for Tania Sharma, not another nightmare. But when her closest friends-Sarah and Madhvi-get pulled into her tangled world of secrets, betrayal, and fear, everything changes. Her friends begin dying in mysterious ways, each death playing out exactly as she saw it in her dreams. And in the shadows, a cult whispers the same haunting truth again and again: "You are one of us." Tania refuses to believe them. She isn't cruel. She isn't selfish. She isn't dark. At least... that's what she tells herself. But with every betrayal, every body, and every dream that bleeds into reality, one terrifying question claws at her mind- What if they're right? A haunting mix of friendship, betrayal, college drama, and psychological horror, I'm Not Like Them asks: when even the people you trust most can't be saved, how long before you wonder if the real monster is you?
