Seventeen-year-old Elara Voss has always been different. With her ghost-pale skin and sea-glass eyes, she's the girl no one trusts-the girl who doesn't quite fit. No one knows the truth: that her little brother's "accidental" death years ago wasn't so accidental, and that every man who's ever tried to hurt her has never walked away alive.
Now she's the quiet storm behind a string of killings, balancing the scales her way, while the world calls her a monster.
Detective Elias Vale, a twenty-two-year-old prodigy with a sharp mind and an unshakable sense of justice, is assigned to the case. But the deeper he digs, the more every trail leads back to her-the pale girl who seems to haunt every shadow of the murders. He knows she's hiding something. She knows he's right.
What begins as interrogation turns into obsession. What begins as a hunt becomes a twisted slow-burn dance between predator and prey. Elias wants to stop her. Elara wants to ruin him. And somewhere between blood and law, hatred and fascination, something darker begins to bloom.
The only question is-who will destroy who first?

twice the alibi
Two teenagers dead. One girl on camera. One identical face left behind. "That's me," Eden said, pointing to the footage. "No, it's not," Elara whispered, "That's me." And just like that, the case broke in half. When 18-year-old Noah Rowe and his girlfriend Tess Marlowe are found murdered at an abandoned railway station, CCTV footage reveals one of the killers-a girl in a hoodie, her face caught for just a moment. The face belongs to either Eden or Elara Wren-identical twins with a dark, toxic past and a shared connection to the victims. But the case isn't so simple. Both sisters claim innocence. Both have alibis. And both were in love with Noah. As Detective Eliza Hart, a rising name in the London Homicide Unit, begins digging into the twins' lives, she finds a buried world of obsession, jealousy, betrayal, and a sisterhood that's not as unbreakable as it seems. The deeper Eliza goes, the more twisted the story becomes. Because the twins didn't just hate each other. They may have needed each other to kill. and just like that "We hate each other so much" turned into a confusion. [ 𝟷𝟻 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚍𝚊𝚢/𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚔 𝚠𝚒𝚜𝚎]Complete
