They said the fire took everything.
But the fire didn't kill them all.
A year ago, a blaze tore through Hollow Ridge's beloved Pumpkin Festival, killing three local teens and leaving the town in pieces. The survivors-once inseparable-swore to never speak of that night again.
Now, as the next Pumpkin Festival approaches, Riley Carter returns home for the first time since the tragedy. But Hollow Ridge isn't the same. The smiles are hollow, the streets too quiet... and someone wearing porcelain masks of the dead has started to hunt again.
When the killings begin, Riley and her old friends are forced to face what really happened that night. Because the fire wasn't an accident-
and the person responsible isn't finished.

Carvings That Bind
Alyssan Bogard didn't live a long life. She died when she was 17. All she remembers is waking up in her backyard. She has no memory of her death and only has a vague idea about what happened from what she's heard while lingering around her family and previous school. Alyssan has no idea why she's lingering around as a spirit and wants nothing more than to move on. That is until she meets Sawyer. Sawyer Garrison is the guy the teachers adore, who people want to befriend, and who girls want to date. He's the one who's been voted most likely to succeed in life after school. His family life is shit. Sawyer wants nothing more than to get out of dodge as soon as the opportunity presents itself and with only seven months, two weeks, and four days left it couldn't come sooner. That is until he meets Alyssan. Neither expected to meet the other and neither expected the horrendous outcome that arises from it. Alyssan never ran away and she didn't die of any natural causes either. She was murdered and the fact that her killer is still on the loose scares both of them. The fact that the killings started again is even worse. With the killer targeting more girls, she and Sawyer might be the only hope of stopping the deaths. However, remembering the events of her past might be too much for Alyssan to handle and with her time on the earth dwindling things aren't exactly looking good for them. * Cover done by VictoriaKaerComplete
