"Have you ever watched the light fade from someone's eyes, Foxy? The pigment slowly, ever so slowly disappear?" 

The press call him the Escape Artist, and he is certainly living up to his name. 

Sergeant Alexandra Fox has never come up against such a devious mind in her entire career. Ten young women, seven of them wives of fellow officers, have been found tortured and murdered. Every tiny lead fizzles out, and he revels in taunting them by phone, torturing them mentally as he forces them to listen to the screams of his victims. 

Alexandra, is determined to catch him before he kills again, unaware that she's become the object of his obsession until he issues one last threat: "I thought I would give you one warning. A chance to back away and leave the investigation. Don't make me punish you."

Out of the Shadows by WillowBlackWriting
12 parts Ongoing
Alexandra Dalton lives in a crumbling post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by The Enforcement and terrorized by the Legacies, power-wielding humans corrupted by their abilities. But when a deadly encounter thrusts her into the heart of a war for humanity's survival, secrets of her father's past begin to surface, forcing her to choose: fight for the light or be consumed by the darkness. In a world where entire cities can burn in minutes, and nobody can truly be trusted, can she protect her mother and sister-and uncover the truth before it's too late? Excerpt: "Dad?" My voice was no more than a whisper. The tendril caught the woman just as she was about to hit the ground, and in one harsh movement, it tugged her into the darkness. The blackness engulfed her screams, swallowing them completely. I could feel my father pulling on my wrist. His grip was so tight it hurt. Everywhere around me, people were dying. Their shrieks echoed in my ears, and I couldn't seem to move. My hands started to shake as I looked toward the dark sky. The silhouettes of bodies in the air, lit eerily by the theme park's neon colors, littered the sky like stars. This wasn't just chaos-it was the end of everything we knew. Chapters released weekly!

Kill Who You Want by bigimp

What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open wound
The Troubles of Angy by Haanjy
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Alex held fast, his eyes never leaving hers, his grip gentle yet unyielding. "Tell me, Angy," he whispered again, his voice low and persuasive. "What has you so tense that you're so bent on getting away from me?" Angy's heart raced, her mind racing with excuses and evasions. But Alex's eyes seemed to see right through her, to the secrets she kept hidden deep within. She felt like a bird caught in a snare, unable to escape the gentle yet unyielding pressure of his gaze. As the music swirled around them, Angy knew she was at a crossroads. She could continue to evade and hide, or she could take a chance and reveal the truth. "Hey..." He urged in a trail. "I don't belong here." She finally said, swallowing a lump in her throat. "What?" "I don't belong here, Alex." She repeated, more firmly this time. "This... being here with you, I don't belong here." "What's going on? What nonsense are you saying?" He paused. "Did you hear Charlotte?" He gauged her acutely, trying to work out the truth as he felt his heart standing on the steep precipice of fear of her answer. Angy resisted the urge to recoil. Charlotte had said something to Alex. How much did he know? **** What secrets lie beneath his carefully constructed facade? And what mysteries shroud Angy, veiling her true identity from even herself? Could it be that the veins of their past ran deeper than they had envisaged? Delve into the enigma of their intertwined destinies, where every twist and turn reveals deeper layers of intrigue. Don't hesitate. Embark on this journey of discovery, where the shadows of the past converge with the uncertainty of the future. Unravel the tangled threads of their lives, for in their collision lies the key to unlocking the secrets that bind them together.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. Β©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

In The Blink Of An Eye by Ljucaaiida32
182 parts Complete Mature
Madisyn Connelly, or MC as people called her, considered staring at the wall for the next hour a viable entertainment option. Her life was, to put it mildly, predictable. Wake, work, maybe catch a movie, sleep, repeat. The thrill was gone, replaced by the beige monotony of suburban existence. That's when her phone buzzed. It was a text message from an unknown number: "Hello? Are you there?" Madisyn sighed. Just another wrong number. She typed back, "Wrong number, sorry." and went back to contemplating the life she was living. The reply came instantly: "No matter how I put this, it'll sound crazy. I've gone over this many times in my head." Followed by "Wait a sec. I have to add the others first. Please don't go." Thomas, Cleo, Dan, Richy, Jessy... These names were strangers only moments ago and now resonated with a strange urgency. "We need to ask, How do you know Hannah Donfort?" Madisyn hesitated. She was about to send another dismissive reply, but a flicker of... something... stopped her. Boredom? Curiosity? A subconscious yearning for something more? "I don't know anyone named Hannah," she typed adding a question mark at the end, unsure why she was even bothering. The next text chilled her blood: "Hannah's my girlfriend and she disappeared. Three days ago to be exact." And so began Madisyn's unwanted adventure. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was somehow connected to this Hannah, these people, this desperate plea. Madisyn's heart hammered. Worried texts, Hannah's disappearance, Madisyn's phone number on Hannah's phone... it all pointed to something far more sinister than a simple misunderstanding. The search led her down dark alleys and into smoky bars. She faced threats, endured intimidation, and felt the cold grip of fear more times than she could count. She had discovered that even in the most ordinary of lives, there was the potential for extraordinary courage, love, and power to make a difference. And it all started with the wrong number.

All of the men holding up the serial killer somehow manage to shove him into a police car. They lock the door behind him and Barrett lets out a sigh of relief. The police have got it covered from here. He takes his hand out of his pocket, letting go of his gun and zips up his jacket. With that, he turns and quietly makes his way out of the crowd of people. Everyone pretty much ignores him, still trying to get a look at what's going on in their usually still neighborhood. The streets get darker and darker the farther Barrett walks away from the police lights. Every other street in this town is still fast asleep, with no idea of what could have happened just a block away from them. But it had been prevented. All thanks to him. Barrett finally comes upon his car, and slips inside. It's already way warmer than the outside air, so he lets out a small sigh of relief. This mission is over and done with. Now onto the next psychopath.

"I-I don't know," I admitted, my voice shaky. "I haven't done that before." "You haven't done..." Kalle's voice trailed off in surprise. "I've had sex before," I clarified quickly, not wanting them to get the wrong idea. "Just... not like this. Not with three men. I've only ever had one partner." I added, embarrassment crept into my voice as I looked away. "Come here." Mac pulled me from Kalle's hands, wrapping his arms around me. His body was solid, steady, making my head spin even more. "How about we give you a little preview," he murmured, his lips close to my ear, "and you decide for yourself if you want to keep going?" *One cabin. Three dangerous men. Nowhere to run.* Trapped in an isolated cabin in the Arctic, Murphy never expected to share her stay with three dangerously irresistible men. What was supposed to be a solo retreat to reclaim her independence turns into something far more intense when she crosses paths with Viktor, Cormac, and Kalle-three men with secrets as dark as the endless winter nights. Their presence is overwhelming, their intentions unclear, and their heated gazes leave her breathless. But there's more to them than just temptation. Something lurks beneath the surface-something lethal. And as the northern lights dance above them, Murphy must decide: Is she in danger, or has she just stumbled into the most thrilling risk of her life?
