Bestseller Mysteries Novels & Stories

she asked. Alvin smiled, ready for a kill. "I recently read this novel by a New York Times bestselling author who goes by the name AdelleX. The title of her novel is 'The Woman's Dark Secrets.' I think all women have dark secrets that they are trying hard to keep buried within the four corners of their minds. Am I right?" Briana rolled her eyes. "And does the book satisfy your craving for juicy stuff and endless drama?" Alvin looked at her, wearing a surprised expression on his face. "How did you know that I like juicy stuff?"

After meeting some old lady at a river who tells me to make three wishes that may or may not come true, I wonder what else life has in store for me. "So you say you're not new to New York city, right?" demands the driver for the second time. "No. I literally grew up here." "Means you were born here?" "Means I was." He nods, like this is the answer he's been expecting. "Nice." "Well, I'm from somewhere else." "Where is that?" "Illinois. In Chicago. Grew up in Little Italy. Where the mafia bosses terrorized those neighborhoods. That's where they get those crazy and scary nicknames from. Some called themselves The Prince. Scorpion, The Twister.."

That’s what saved you from ending up like those other poor guys. I just grinned and tapped my nose. Sitting alone at the kitchen table, I popped open a pack of ramen and flicked on the TV. "Today, our city was rocked by a spree of break-ins and murders, all targeting rich single men. The cops cracked the case wide open, rounding up a whole gang of suspects.” As I listened to the news anchor's report, I could not help but think there was some truth to the saying that after the storm is when the flowers bloomed.

" It just happens to be a coincidence that the gift given to you on your birthday contains the secret to Luke's demise and you happen to be a werewolf." "I know, right?" Daniel laughed. " This life is full of mysteries." "But how can we trust what is written on that paper?" Tomiwa asked sceptically. "Have you forgotten?" Annabelle spoke up." The book we read at Tisha's place. It said the warlock sealed the secret to killing Luke in silver and aquamarine. Daniel's necklace is silver and the W sign on it happens to be blue in color. Aquamarine is another color for blue."

My hands froze over the keyboard. It was just a secondhand marketplace. The message on the screen was from the buyer. He had already paid, and I had already shipped the item. The deal was done. What I sold was my girlfriend's DSLR camera. However, it seemed like what he wanted… was not just the camera. Messages kept popping up. "Hey, Chloe Hastings, what's wrong? Mad at me?" "Don't tell me you're getting too into the roleplay again. This cold attitude suits you. Still not replying?"

I said and she shrugged "So, tell me mom. Let's talk about this now. What is it about Adrian touching that book which makes you so scared?" I said and she looked at me for some time and sat saying "Elsa. This book contain somethings Adrian doesn't need to know if he opens it. It will make him uncontrollable and you'll lose him. Yes, it's a sacred book and it should help him. But they are still some mysteries. If he finds out now. It will only bring more tention between the natural and the supernatural...and hence, the natural will be destroyed in the process...and that's only going to be a disaster that will never end. Except, there's a sealed being--" she stopped not finishing her statement

He got up, took his bath and reviewed his documents then ordered black coffee. By the time his coffee arrived, it was around seven-thirty in the morning. “Is today’s newspaper ready?” Mills asked the male waiter. “Yes sir.” The waiter replied while bowing. Alright, you may leave.” The waiter exited the room and a few minutes later he brought the papers to him. Mills opened the paper and the headlines read : THE CASE OF MISSING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THE RISING FEAR. The headline read was about the increase in the rate of young girls and adult women who had gone missing for that month alone. The paper shed light on how the authorities have done little to nothing about the issue and let the culpr

"Besides, I don't like jewelry. You should know that, Cecil." Cecil bit her lips. He was telling the truth. Besides, none of them in the room knew the necklace held something. "That only leaves us with one last suspect." All eyes turned to Adrian, who had just spoken. Lena's heart skipped a beat. "Who?" Cecil asked. It was like her temperature rose each time someone suggested a lead to finding the necklace. Adrian's eyes flickered from one face to the other, then rested on Lena, his face serious. "Thane."

And God, the lie tastes like ashes on my tongue and stabs like a dagger into my heart. He gives a shocked laugh. “Are you making fun of my movie choosing skills?” "It was just an... unexpected choice." "I'll have you know How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days is one of my all-time favorite movies." "Oh, really? What are some others?" I shouldn't be asking this. I shouldn't care. I shouldn't be telling myself to make sure that I memorize what his next words will be. "Let's see. I love What Happens in Vegas, Bride Wars, Mr. and Mrs. Smith..."

“No doubt.” “What about those two small FedEx boxes?” “Most recent novels from Samhain Horror.” “Awesome. Those books I bought at the Webb County Library sale last week?” “Sorted into general and mystery fiction. Struck the mother lode with all those Mary Higgins Clark novels.” “We cater to all tastes, miss. Unless you like Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray or James Patterson. Folks want drivel, they can drive to Utica.” “Hey. I actually liked Twilight. It wasn’t all bad.”
