Julia Martins cannot be thankful enough for having made her dream come true in such a short time. At only seventeen years old, Julia is a famous pop star who is loved worldwide and conquered the hearts of different generations.  

Even though her voice is always praised, Julia is sure it isn't the only thing that attracts a global audience. She believes the fair-skinned, brunette young woman with ethereal beauty appearing in every music video, concert, and photoshoot is responsible for her insane popularity.

Except, that young woman isn't Julia, but Vera, an image Julia created to fit what she thinks are the entertainment industry's standards.

Despite living her dream as another person, Julia doesn't mind as long as her music can reach her fans and make them smile. But living as Vera has its downside. Besides having to hide who she truly is or risk Vera's existence, Julia can't develop deep relationships since her life is a lie. 

But life can be tricky, and when her heart finally gives in, Julia must make a choice that will determine if she wants to continue living a dream or wake up.

4 parts Complete

Two women are horribly murdered. The town fears that there is serial killer, but it might not be what it seems. FBI Agent Ricky Lopez, digs deep and finds out the truth. **** Two women are seemingly 'murdered' and chopped up on the same day. The whole town fears that a serial killer committed the gruesome crime, as serial killings were popular in the USA at the time. When Detective Liz Smith opens an investigation, she realizes that indeed both crimes were committed by the same person, but something wasn't right. So she calls up and old acquaintance; Agent Ricky Lopez, who she met at a Criminal Psychology conference. Agent Ricky Lopez and Detective Smith begin to unfold truths, just until Detective Smith was stabbed three times at her father's retirement party. Agent Ricky Lopez fills in the gaps himself and reveals the truth in a chillingly-interesting interrogation with the perpetrator. Be warned though, this book is not as straightforward as portrayed in this summary, as timeline and perspectives are shuffled, making it a lot more baffling. A Short story, first of a series. *** * * * Fair Warning: This book contains Violence and Strong Language🔞
