In the quiet town of Northwood Pines, symbols began to appear-carved into the skin of the dead.
As victims fall, Ethan steps into the shadows of city that hides more than it reveals. With every clue, a darker truth surfaces: a killer among them, masked in plain sight, experimenting on lives as if they were science projects.
A web of lies, betrayal, and chilling brilliance-where every ally could be the enemy,and every step forward might be a trap.

مقدّمة ________ في هذا الكتاب، لا أقدّم قصصًا تُروى، بل ظلالًا تُرى... كل كلمة هنا هي صدى لروحٍ لم تجد طريقها إلى النور، وكل سطرٍ هو همسٌ من أعماقٍ لا يصلها الضوء. كتبتُ هذه الصفحات لا لأُعبّر، بل لأُنزف. لأدع الأصوات التي خنقتها العتمة تتحدث أخيرًا، ولو بصوتٍ مرتجفٍ بين أنفاس الليل. هنا، يسكن الصمت أكثر من الضجيج، وتتنفّس الكلمات ببطء كأنها تخشى أن توقظ شيئًا نائمًا منذ زمنٍ بعيد. كل حرفٍ هو خطوة داخل متاهة من الأفكار الغامضة، من الذكريات التي لم تمُت تمامًا، ومن الخيالات التي تختبئ خلف الجفون المغلقة. في "بين الظلام والهمس" لن تجد الحقيقة واضحة، ولن تعرف إن كنت تقرأ أم تُقرأ. فالكتاب لا يُحكى، بل يُسمع... في أعماقك، حين يخفت كل شيء من حولك، وتبقى أنت وهمسك الداخلي فقط. أغلق النور، وافتح الصفحات... دع الظلام يُكمل حديثه، ودع الهمس يعلو حتى يصير صوتك. فربما، في نهاية هذا الطريق المظلم، لن تجد الإجابات، لكنك ستتعلم كيف تصغي لما لم يجرؤ أحدٌ على قوله من قبل.

︳Featured by @WattpadShortStory & Wattpad @YA list︳ Wattpad India Awards-Winner Allie Von prides herself on being a loner. Socializing with her classmates is not only unnecessary, but it is also weird and tiring. So when she's forced to attend their school's last summer trip, to 'make a friend' or to 'socialize' she tries to prove to herself that friendships are fickle and pointless. But Kyle Raymond, a sweet, sunny classmate, comes in the way and makes her question her every belief. Cover by @nicoismysenpai
