Seven friends. One group chat. One of them is dead.
Maya Carter was the center of their friend group-bright, bold, impossible to ignore. Now she's dead. Found murdered just days after a weekend trip with her six closest friends and her boyfriend, Max, her death leaves behind nothing but questions... and one very active group chat.
"Campfire Crew" was just supposed to be where they joked around, made plans, shared memes. Now it's where everything is unraveling.
Because the messages haven't stopped.
Not even after Maya died.
When a new message appears-from Maya's number-the group spirals. Is someone playing a sick joke? Or is one of them hiding something... something darker? As old photos resurface, timelines stop adding up, and buried secrets begin to leak, the group chat becomes more than a digital hangout. It becomes a crime scene.
And one of them?
Is the killer.
Told through group messages, private DMs, digital clues, and eerie flashbacks, The Murder Texts is a tense, immersive teen thriller about trust shattered by fear, and the terrifying realization that the person you thought you knew might be the one sending you your last message.

Beautifully Broken
"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied.

the prize of his love ( discontinued to be rewritten )
( discontinued to be rewritten ) Huntingtown was panicking; no one knew where the sirens were coming from. There was no electricity, and there was no way for the storm Sirens to be sounding, yet they were. The entire Town was awake; everyone had a weapon. They had grabbed guns, knives, swords, and bats if they could be wielded and used for self-defense; Renee aimed her rifle at the trees, looking desperately for an explanation. Why would a siren sound? They only sounded when they were in Danger, so where was the Danger? When the predators revealed themselves, that was where the siren noise was coming from. Renee could feel her heart jump into her throat. Her face went pale; they were here. They had found the Town. Terror and panic soon swept Huntingtown; everyone knew what those monsters could do. After all, they did conquer the planet and impose the "choosing." Huntingtown was created hoping that its isolation in a cold climate would keep the Predators away, but it didn't. A voice came over those speakers. A male voice Gruff and laced with a growl. It was almost as if whoever was speaking was annoyed and angry. "Although I have enjoyed seeing your little Town outmaneuver many hunters. I am afraid this is where your little games end. However, I will give you a chance to keep your freedom. A hunt. You will be red by your best hunter, Renee Madison." Renee felt her blood go cold as she stared wide-eyed at the ship. She was unknowingly dropping her gun at the news. " she will be your leader; she will be my prize. You have a time advantage. Go!" The ship took off, looking for a place to land, all while the news sank into the Town's residence. Renee had known she had fucked up when she fired at one of those predators and hit him. She had proven herself worthy of the hunt. Now she has to face the consequences, not only her but her entire Town had to. Renee had to win this hunt; the fate of her Town depended on it.Complete

Moments not Mine
Esme was the last person to see her best friend alive. Now, everyone-friends, family, even the police-suspects her of a crime she didn't commit. Desperate to prove her innocence, she uncovers a hidden digital world her best friend had kept secret: a web of fake accounts, cryptic messages, and untold clues. One account, in particular, becomes her lifeline-a place where her best friend confided, joked, and dropped hints about her life. Here, Esme meets someone unexpected; actually two someones: two mysterious guys who help her piece together the puzzle, but neither of them knows what the other looks like. Every conversation is charged with curiosity, trust, and tension, as they navigate messages, hidden posts, and the shadows of a life Esme never truly knew. In a world where everyone is suspect and nothing is as it seems, Esme must follow the digital breadcrumbs to uncover the real killer-and maybe discover a connection she never expected.
