Short Summary:
Melissa is the embodiment of perfection: a brilliant student, a auburn-haired beauty, a cherished daughter, and the envy of every girl at school. Teachers praise her, neighbours adore her, and boys dream of her, Melissa’s life seems touched by grace.

But behind the flawless smile is a mind that whispers dark desires. Since childhood, Melissa has been haunted by an unquenchable fascination with death. It began with dissecting insects, escalated to torturing stray animals, and now, as her confidence grows, so does her hunger.

No one suspects the top girl when the first child vanishes. Or the second. As bodies are buried in shallow graves in the woods near her home, Melissa’s secret grows harder to keep. Worse still, she discovers that taking lives might be the only way she feels truly alive.

But secrets have a way of clawing to the surface, and someone is beginning to notice. Will Melissa outwit the world around her, or will her perfect life unravel into a nightmare of her own making?
