Outsmarting My Murderous best Friend

Mia has died three times—bus crash, collision, rafting disaster—all orchestrated by her best friend Cara. This time, she refuses to play the victim. She drives ahead, exposes Cara’s sabotage, and turns the trap back on its maker. But Cara’s confession reveals something darker: a dark-web app called NEXUS that trades futures for eliminations. In a second story, swimmer Jade faces the same system against rival Brynn, using forensic evidence to flip the script.
