Prey

Alexis Wilcox had to grow up before she was even born. After her father died on September 11th, 2001, mere weeks before her birth, she's grown up watching the world around her spiral downwards. With a mother more concerned with her feeding her addictions than her four children, the responsibilities fall to Alexis to care for her siblings.

She's always carried her mother's reputation on her shoulders, something she can't seen to shake in a town as small as Roselake, Kentucky. But when poor, forgotten girls like Alexis begin to go missing, Alexis and her new-found friend Rebecca begin to unravel secrets. Secrets so horrifying that the trailer park life Alexis leads begins to look like a veritable paradise. Secrets too horrifying to be believed. Secrets too big for their tiny town.

Someone is hunting, and girls like Alexis are his favourite prey.

A/N

This is my submission for NANOWRIMO 2015. I will update once or twice a week, after I have verified the wordcount over on NANOWRIMO's site. This is a very, very rough first draft, and I am totally open to any and all constructive criticism! Thank you so much for reading my story, I appreciate each and every read.

I should also note that this story will deal with some very dark content and themes and contain mature language, although I try to keep these aspects implicit rather than explicit. For safety's sake, I would say this book is suitable for those 15 years of age or older.

Also, I was unable to verify where the image for my cover came from. If it belongs to you or someone you know, please send me a message so I can add credit to you or make a new cover.
