With eleven missing women to find and six high-profile burglary cases to solve, the last thing Detective Nathan McNamara needs in his life is one more complication. And that's exactly what his recent one-night stand is becoming-complicated. With his heinous lieutenant breathing down his neck for answers and his accidental girlfriend dropping hints for a commitment, Nathan is realizing that his career and his bachelor status are both on the line. 

When the burglary cases suddenly escalate to homicide, Nathan must put everything else aside to stop the killer. But this is easier said than done when the blonde from the bar repeatedly shows up at his doorstep and enlists his own mother against him. Now he's more convinced than ever that his job hangs in the balance and that the Surgeon General's warning on the whiskey bottle should include something about women.

Dreams do come true if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. -- J. M. Barrie Detective Elizabeth Chase is who you say she is. Depends on how you see her. Awkward? Check. Rebellious? Check. Unreasonable? Check. Caring? Check. Spontaneous? Check. Sarcastic? Check. Half of the people claim that they don't really know her. The other half insist that they know her. Her partner Detective Valentine Fetcher is somewhere in between. He never sees things just in black and white. He thinks he's the sensible one. However, the facts turn out that he's not so good at making the right decisions. The two detectives have been partnering for five years. But this year isn't a typical high crime-rate year. More and more surprises show up. Things that didn't add up all make sense. Everything has become messy, blurry, and complicated. Do they really know each other?

Calm under pressure and driven by instinct, she's the kind of detective who follows the evidence, no matter how dark it gets. But when a string of ritualistic murders rocks the small coastal town, Iris finds herself up against a killer who seems to know her every move... and every fear.

What no one knows is that Maddie isn't studying the murderer--she is the murderer. By day, Maddie works beside Iris, analyzing the mind of a phantom she herself created. By night, she watches the detective from the shadows, torn between obsession and something far more dangerous: affection. As their partnership deepens, so does their connection--an intoxicating blend of suspention, trust, and forbidden desire. Iris senses something is off about the woman she's come to rely on, while Maddie struggles to keep secrets buried before love turns lethal. But in Mystic, nothing stays hidden forever.

Tell Me It's Forever, écrit par peanuttttxo

"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?"
