Evernight Teen
Last year
sixteen-year-old Autumn solved her sister’s murder. This year, she is
part of a high school forensic dream team that assists the police when
teens are kidnapped. When it’s discovered the kidnappings are part of a
secret online survivor game, the police and team focus on the game
maker—the man behind the game. The focus of the investigation shifts when Autumn is singled out
and becomes the target of the Game Maker’s sick game.
Through encrypted messages hidden in steganographs, Autumn must
discover who the last kidnapping victim is if she hopes to save him in
time.
Evernight
TeenAmazonB&NSmashwordsBuy in PrintExcerpt:
Everyone resumed their tasks, except for Minerva. She rolled her
eyes at me, which was miraculous considering the spider-leg eyelashes she wore.
I gave her a country-club smile, then refocused on the blood spatter.
“Clear.” Shock , silence. “Sorry for your loss, miss.”
I documented the results in my evidence log. My handwriting was
shaky, but legible enough for my team.
I blew out the fear in one big breath and got back to work. I
examined the pattern on the floor. The low blood volume found at the scene was
a positive sign, but it wouldn’t matter to her family. They were being
tormented every second she was gone. Right now, the tricks their minds were
playing on them, the things their imaginations were conjuring, were sadistic.
Panic loved to be a bitch like that.
I stepped back and looked at the ice cream parlor from all
angles the way I’d been taught this past summer.
My four other STAFF teammates were walking around performing the
various tasks assigned to them. It was our first case, and I prayed we’d do a
kick-ass job, because there was still hope and a chance to impact her fate.
Objectivity was key. Quick-draw conclusions could lead you down
the wrong path and to the home of…oh, I don’t know, let’s say…my high school
principal. Principal Tamez still hadn’t forgiven me and never would. Ponzi
Scheme Boy knew I was onto him, except there was this little thing called
evidence that the police liked to have before arresting anyone for embezzling.
