Kaylee Mellark used to be a normal girl. A little more eccentric and lively than others, but went to school, hung out with friends and went to parties just like any other high school student. But once she unwillingly witnesses a savage and brutal murder being carried out before her very eyes, everything changes.
Kaylee and her two best friends, twins Tod and Nash Hudson, suddenly find themselves constantly on edge in anxiety and terror, forever watching their backs in fear of being next. Next in line for murder.
Why? Because Kaylee's caught the murderer's attention, and Tod & Nash would never leave her side in such a dire and dangerous situation. However, as unexplained and terrible murders carry on happening in their Yorkshire county, it becomes seemingly hopeless the murderer will ever be caught.
Will the murderer ever be caught?
What will happen to Kaylee, Tod and Nash?
Who will survive, and who will suffer terrible death?
But most of all, what is the mysterious, dark secret behind everything, the very reason for the killings? And will it ever be solved...?

thorns of immortality
A string of brutal murders has gripped their quiet town, each victim found with a gruesome, identical wound-an exposed neck, drained of blood in a chilling ritual. Whispers are growing louder with every passing day. Some say it's the work of a dark, satanic cult. Others speak of a twisted, bloodthirsty killer with a taste for flesh. But one thing is certain: the victims share a terrifying commonality-each of them is left lifeless, their necks cruelly slit, their blood gone without a trace. No one knows who's behind it, but rumors of a dark force are spreading like wildfire, and fear is slowly suffocating the town. Ryan and Maya, doctors by day, seem like any ordinary siblings... but how could they be hiding something so sinister? As the body count rises, their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, revealing a dangerous secret that could unravel their entire existence.![The Killers Stories[Demo]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387601535-256-k912450.jpg)
