When Mackenzie Dela Cruz, the golden girl of St. Augustine Academy, is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Alyssa Dizon is left reeling. The vibrant, popular girl who always lit up a room is suddenly gone-her death deemed an accident by some, but Alyssa can't shake the feeling that something darker is at play.

As Alyssa digs into her best friend's life, she uncovers cryptic messages that suggest Mackenzie's death wasn't a tragic accident. It's connected to Nathan Villanueva, the school's perfect heartthrob with a dangerous secret. The more Alyssa uncovers, the more she realizes that someone has been watching Mackenzie-and now, they're watching her too.

In a race against time, Alyssa must uncover the truth before the darkness closes in. But the deeper she goes, the more she starts to question her own reality. Can she trust what she sees, or is someone controlling the story from behind the scenes?

$Seven People {Completed ✔️} by diva_dani$

Carolina York. Mikayla Lionoff. Lucy Maine. Vanessa Gray. Katherine Vicar. Molly Nichols. Alana May Criston. 7 people. All very different. All exactly the same. Alana May Criston was born Carolina York. Then her parents were murdered. And the names and identities kept changing and changing. Every few years Witness Protection would knock on her door, change her look and whisk her off to another state with a new guardian. It's worked for the last 12 years and as far as Alana was concerned it would work for at least 12 more. And anyways, the case has long gone cold, with no new evidence ever surfacing. And it probably never will. Or so she thinks. When death threats start being sent to Alana May, the case of her parent's murder is reopened. Meanwhile, she heads towards her final months of high school. Alongside her best friend Chloe, who she refuses to acknowledge is her best friend, and Blake, the mysterious new bodyguard who Alana knows she will never understand, she searches for new clues to find the people who completely turned her life upside down. Will anything ever return to normal?

Between Bruises and Butterflies by POPS_WRITES

St. Augustine Academy is no ordinary school. It's a playground for the rich, a battlefield for the broken, and a maze of friendships laced with betrayal. When a new transfer student steps through its gates, she carries more than just her sketchbook - she carries the weight of a past she's desperate to forget. But survival in this school isn't as simple as staying quiet. Not when the class is full of people with sharp tongues, hidden scars, and hearts that bruise as easily as they fall. Between rival sections, chaotic school events, and dangerous old ghosts creeping closer, she'll have to decide: Fight, fall, or run. Because in St. Augustine, love isn't gentle. And some enemies wear the face of someone you once loved.

Forgotten Lies by ScarlettMirage

"You do? What all do you remember, Emma?" The confidence in his tone unsettles me. This isn't the reaction I expected. He isn't scared. He isn't denying it. He isn't even trying to take the photos from me. He just waits. Like he already knows what I'll say. I swallow hard. "I remember my parents." "I remember the mansion." "I remember..." I hesitate. Because I don't remember everything. The images are there, but they're scattered- Like a puzzle with missing pieces. And Ethan-he's watching me too closely. Like he already knows exactly which pieces I don't have. _________________________________________ Emma Lockwood. 26. A woman with a past she can't remember. A wife trapped in a marriage she doesn't recall. A survivor of something terrible-something that left scars she doesn't understand. _________________________________________ Ethan Carter. 27. A cop. A protector. A man built from secrets. A man who swore he'd never let anything happen to her. A man who's been hiding the truth since the beginning. The only person who knows the full truth about her. _________________________________________ Somewhere, buried deep in the memories I lost, is the answer. Somewhere in the past is the night everything changed. And someone wants me to remember. But the closer I get to the truth, the more I start to wonder... Maybe I don't want to. Maybe I was never meant to. _________________________________________

Come and Get Me ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"Do you normally make-out with the people you're hired to kill? It doesn't strike me as very professional." "Put the gun down," Gabriel panted, not answering her. "Why on earth would I do that?" "Because you're not going to shoot me," Gabriel replied, noting that she still had the safety on. "I bet you've never shot anything in your life." She studied his gun with a smile. "Maybe you're right," she replied. Then she pointed the gun back at him, taking off the safety and cocking it. "Are you willing to bet your life on it?" she asked him coolly. *** He didn't know anything about her - her name, age, even what she looked like. He only knew it was his job to kill her. But when Gabriel comes face to face with his latest target, he finds himself completely mesmerized and can't pull the trigger. Left with few viable options, he decides to kidnap her. Unfortunately for him, she's not willing to come quietly. Instead, their encounter sets off an intense game of cat and mouse, unraveling Gabriel's entire world in the process.

Katie Gaunt by Judah0429

Katie Gaunt was never going to be normal. Not with a fame-hungry politician for a father, a wine-soaked ghost of a mother, and a childhood full of voices no one else could hear. She's spent her life barely holding it together-until college, when everything finally shatters. Her imaginary protector, Zack, vanishes. In his place comes Dustin-sharp smile, dark eyes, and a voice that whispers blood. He doesn't protect her. He unlocks her. And once he's there, people start disappearing. Pets are torn apart. Bodies are found mutilated. The town of Ithaca begins to rot. And Katie? She's the rot. She wakes up covered in sweat and worse. Bones in her closet. Teeth in the drain. She tells herself it's just dreams-until the dreams start killing people she knows. She's slipping. Fast. And no one-not Jacob, not her professors, not even the new voice in her head-is strong enough to pull her back. Now the only question is: who will she kill next? A brutal, hallucinatory descent into madness, Katie Gaunt is a story about control, desire, and the monsters we become when no one stops us.
