ʏᴏᴜ ꜰᴏᴏʟɪꜱʜ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ᴛʜɪɴɢ || 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜
You are a university student living what appears to be an ordinary life, each day blending into the next as you remain steadfast in your pursuit of academic excellence. Your sole focus is on maintaining perfect grades and, above all, impressing your strict, demanding parents-whose approval feels just out of reach no matter how hard you strive. Social interactions are nothing more than a passing obligation, and personal relationships take a backseat to the heavy expectations weighing on your shoulders. When you are assigned a partner for an important project, you find yourself paired with a man you barely know, someone whose presence in your life has been nothing more than a fleeting shadow in the background of your routine. You exchange only the necessary words, keeping interactions brief and professional. To you, this project is just another task to complete, another step toward your larger goal. But while you remain focused on your work, oblivious to the world beyond your priorities, something begins to shift in the air around you. Unbeknownst to you, someone was watching you-has begun to develop an unsettling fixation. What may have started as harmless curiosity has now twisted into something far darker, something far more dangerous. Their thoughts are consumed by you, their every action carefully calculated to bring them closer. You don't notice the lingering stares, the way their gaze follows you through crowded halls, or the way they memorize the smallest details of your existence. But soon, the ordinary life you've built will begin to unravel, and by the time you realize the danger lurking in the shadows, it may already be too late. And his name is: Oh Sangwoo

Kill Who You Want
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 woundComplete
