In the polished, privileged halls of an elite American high school, seventeen-year-old Angel Carex grasps his golden ticket-a full scholarship that saves him from the crushing poverty of his life back in Ghana. The future looks bright, until the chrome plating starts to bleed.
The dream devolves into a nightmare when he stumbles upon the shocking murder of a new friend. This is no isolated incident; a sinister pattern of mysterious deaths grips the school, turning every shadow into a potential grave and every whispered rumor into a scream. The fear is visceral, making Angel doubt his choice to ever leave home.
But the most terrifying revelation is yet to come. The menace he seeks lies not in the student body, but in his own fractured mind. Angel uncovers a grotesque psychological malfunction, a dark mirror where his innocent scholar persona clashes with the impulse of a primal, ravaging psychopath.
Now, trapped in a blood-soaked institution where the next victim could be anyone-or perhaps, everyone-Angel is racing against the clock and his own impending insanity.
Who is the real killer? The answer might be closer than he dares to look.
Unmask the darkness in this gripping psychological thriller that asks: what happens when the monster in the mirror is you?

Ruby Fridays
Everyone has their dark side but some- like 𝙍𝙪𝙗𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨, have the darkest. High school can be tough for many teenagers, but for her, it was peculiarly hellish. Clever as evil and twice as pretty, Ruby's beauty was both dangerous and lethal. Trouble always follows her, and strangely enough-she's familiar with the feeling of blood on her hands, and the glimmer of naked secrets and truths that keep her enemies up until sunsets and dawns. But when she got enrolled in a prestigious institution-the infamous, "𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮," despite her tainted school records, she realizes that her ruined fate is already sealed by the almost perfect image of the school- that is nothing but a façade to masked the darkness that lurks within its whole vicinity. Like a twisted fate, as if reflecting Ruby's name, the Academy holds a sinister game of 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 every 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 And the official rules are simple yet sinister. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡? You must reveal your deepest, darkest and most hideous secret. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞? Well, that could be even more dangerous-even deadly. When the game takes an even darker turn with her appearance, suddenly no one at the Academy knows who to turn to and trust with the day by day murders in the broken mists. Yet in the darkness, 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚, a disguised angel who's surprisingly Ruby's parallel counterpart, decides to interfere with her ruined path. Together with him, they will look for the missing pieces and connect them. Together, they will unravel the cases and reveal the secrets beyond the broken glasses of their hearts.
