When a girl with a troubled history of finding dead bodies investigates the murder of her ex, she uncovers a plot to put herself -- and everyone she loves -- on the list of who's next.

After stumbling upon a classmate's body years ago, the trauma of that discovery and the police's failure to find the killer has haunted her ever since. One night, she gets a midnight text from Ava McQueen, the beautiful girl who had ignited Flora's heart last summer, then never spoke to her again. Just in time to witness Ava's death from a gunshot wound, Flora is set on a path of rage and vengeance for all the dead girls whose killer is never found. Her tunnel-visioned sleuthing leads to valuable clues about a shocking conspiracy involving her school and beyond, but also earns her sinister threats from the murderer. She has a choice: give up the hunt for answers, or keep digging and risk her loved ones' lives. Either way, Flora will regret the consequences. Who's next on the killer's list?

Money Mindset Mentors looks at some of the most successful people in history, from Aristotle to Warren Buffett, and expertly maps the high-achievement mindset that brings about success in both business and in life.

What makes a great person exceptional? What marks them out in the history of humanity? Churchill has analyzed the success principles of some of the world’s most influential people, including Sir Richard Branson and Abraham Lincoln. Nobody is born great. It is merely a self-belief system that is unshakable. The mentors show us how they did it and the reader can walk in the footsteps of true greatness. This book will provide the reader with a rigorous apprenticeship as you absorb the hidden knowledge that comes from the years of experience of successful mentors. You will learn how to forge past competitors and surpass them in brilliance. This book teaches how to establish paths of excellence from within.

The Increment System is the world's first "sports psychology system", a system that allows sportspeople to design their perfect mental state and then achieve it through a simple, repeatable process.

It was tested and refined using the input of 25 world class athletes and keen amateurs from a wide range of sports. It has received exceptional feedback from people using the system, and has produced clear improvements in their mental performances.
