We can't bare even the thought of someone hurting our loved ones and getting away with it. This fictional story is about a mysterious book and it all starts when a girl named Jennifer finds it in her deceased cousin's room whose death is a closed book. The way the book was hidden in the room is like it need to be suspected. That's when she starts searching for the answers. And the curiosity increases when she keeps on finding some unusual clues with her cousin's school friends. Revenge is one of the core natures of a human being, that they get so blinded with their investigation that they will start running into the direction where it is leading to. But without even taking too long, they realize that they are standing right on the top of a bog. Which is deeper than they thought and terrifying than they can ever imagine #Curtosy: The following pictures are taken from different sourcesComplete

"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

When the BAU is called in after three teenage boys are found brutally murdered by the train tracks, they step into a town soaked in salt, sorrow, and secrets-where the ocean moans like it remembers too much, and everyone pretends not to see the rot under the paint. The Ridley family is at the center of the storm. A controlling father. A polished golden daughter. A pair of damaged siblings-Lee, sharp-tongued and burning like a live wire, and Luke, silent as a shadow. Their house is a mausoleum, their family photos frozen in time, and their grief hides something older than death. The deeper the team digs, the more unsettling the case becomes. The victims all went to school with Lee. The town speaks of them like they were destined for tragedy. And Lee? She's been building a fortress inside herself since childhood-lit by horror movies, guarded by barbed words, and haunted by the ghost of a twin brother who died saving her... or maybe marked her forever. What begins as a violent crime investigation spirals into something darker: a legacy of trauma, a town complicit in silence, and a killer whose motivations may be tangled in blood, memory, and obsession. Because in Cliff's End, some ghosts don't stay dead. And some protectors don't stay buried.Complete
