By sunrise, the queen was dead. They found Chloe Monroe's body behind the football bleachers-her signature pink nails caked with dirt, her phone shattered beside her like glass promises. The police said it was murder. The students said it was karma. At Crescent High, Chloe wasn't just popular-she was power wrapped in perfume and cruelty. The kind of girl who smiled at you just before she ruined your life. She could make someone disappear from the social food chain with a single rumor, and she loved doing it. But beneath the perfect hair, the designer bags, and the fake apologies, Chloe had built herself an army of enemies. Everyone had a story, a reason, a scar. A girl she exposed. A boy she humiliated. A friend she betrayed. A teacher she made loose his job. So when word spread that she was gone, nobody cried. Not really. They whispered. They speculated. Some even smiled. Because in Crescent High, everyone hated Chloe Monroe. The only mystery left- was who hated her enough to kill her. ★.·.·.·.★.·.·.·.·★ IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS: #1 in Solve, Solving, highschool mystery thriller and teen thriller all in December 2025 #1 in SOLVE 23/12/25 #2 in CASE 26/12/25 #2 in SOLVING 27/12/25 #2 in INTERROGATION 27/12/25

Halloween is truly a festive time of year. Spooky stories, haunted houses and vampires that you can't help but thirst over because you're weird like that. That's why Hale Woodsen's inviting you to the Traitre Museum. You know, that weirdly atmospheric place near 86th, the one with the dome ceiling? Yeah. There'll be music. Shadows. Smoke machines. Candlelight that definitely isn't safe. Maybe even a Ouija board or two. Costumes are absolutely mandatory - don't come dressed like a civilian unless you want to be sacrificed mid-party for the aesthetic. For everyone has suffered a tragedy recently, the disappearance of Luca Almirez. For those who don't know (you're living under a rock), the basketballer disappeared a month or two ago, after the biggest game of his life. Nothing's been found about him, and to be honest? We're not sure if there ever will be. He was a best friend, a gifted sportsman, and overall a beloved member of society. Perhaps this is Hale's way of battling the grief. Since, you know, he was Luca's best friend. He's trying just as hard as everyone else to get to the bottom of this. His list of suspects is never ending, from Cady Lovaine to Ruel Cruz, to even Reverie Vale and Leslie Wilde. But they have hunches too, and so the story continues, dangerous and twisted. But that's not everything. If you want to get all the details, let's leave the Halloween party. Let's go to the 2nd of August, where everything began.
