The title says it all, this book is related to my friend's book as well. You should go check it out. ( Link to her book is in my Reading List )
!This is an AU of mine and my friend's characters!
Her book is based off of this universe as well where her oc is my oc's assistant in terms of homicide, mystery, and thievery cases. Basically the Assistant's POV of the story. I suggest you go read it because hers has some more interesting and better detail because its her character, and it clears up some unknown plot mentioned in this book, since the Detective is legally blind and oblivious.
This book will just be filled with my oc's opinions, quick notes, stories, and suspicions on others- and also to take note of.
Though..she does figure later, murder cases have been happening more and more. She has no clue why, and it has to be up to her to figure out.
Though, slowly..as more and more the days pass she succumbs to fear of not being a person that people look up to anymore, and planning to do something much worse than what she's dealing with.
"I really hope it's not who I think it is..I really do hope it's not someone I know..or am attached to."
"What if..what if people think I'm a failure now?.."
She writes in this diary in her free time.
