The Girl With Tattoos • Original Version

A past she ignores.
A present she despises.
A future she's unsure about.
She does know that it involves a death, though, and it's a death she's been looking forward to.

Tragedies are something Gracelyn is accustomed to. Despite their endless lashes, they never succeeded in breaking her completely. Why? Because she had him. Then, the final tragedy strikes, and just like that, he's gone.

Three years older and a new person, Gracelyn discovers new information and a shocking connection between the tragic death and herself. Imbedded too deep inside the cold mystery, she decides to return and investigate further, hoping for the possibility of revenge.

However, avenging her brother's murder was a task easier said than done. Being forced to move back to her tragedy-tainted hometown was stressful enough as it was. When she uncovers secrets and past misdeeds that were best left untouched, Gracelyn realizes her brother might not be as innocent as she once believed.
