I absolutely love to travel! And there are tons of places I want to visit, but I've managed to narrow it down to my top five! #1: Scotland Scotland is so breathtakingly beautiful and mystical and I cannot wait for the day I get to see it in person!

When she turns up murdered, a foxglove in her mouth, a rumor goes around that Alex was the last person seen with her—and everyone but me believes it. Well, everyone except my worst enemy, Je...
