It was supposed to be a done-deal job.
After they take you, kidnap you, and use you, you were supposed to be dead.
But one girl got away.
Who can she trust?
Who's going after her?
She can't go back to her old world, because everyone thinks she's dead.
Now it's her against the world.
Nothing is left of her identity except of the mysterious footage of the girl who came into a store at 11pm at night, and the cup she accidentally dropped with her lip stick stain on the rim.

My Little Murder
Liv Winters had an unstable past; since she was fifteen, her home had been a hospital, where she slowly recovered from the things that haunted her nightmares and dreams. But that all changed the moment she was let out. Moving into a new house with her alcoholic mother and her supportive brother, Liv now has to face challenges like none she ever had to deal with in hospital: human interaction. Now, Ryelan Montgomery, or "Rye" was considered her new school's God student; everything he was expected to be and more. Smart, sexy, bad, fun, sexy - he was all of these things. Anyone he wanted, anyone at all, he already had. One glance, one touch, one lingering kiss; that's all it took. His mother and father travelled a lot, leaving him a lonely soul in his own house. But someone like him couldn't settle down; it just wasn't in his nature. Liv, though, catches his eye. Is it her long, wavy hair? Or her soft, pink lips? Or maybe it's those haunting eyes of hers, the kind that leave eternal scars? Whatever it its, he's hell-bent on finding out who she is and why she pushes everyone away from her. Out of care or boredom, not even he knew; all he was sure of was that he could get to anyone he wanted, anyone at all. Especially the least expected.Complete
