Alice Warren was the daughter of two famous murderers. Her fate, which was full of bad luck, finally met its end when the Le Blancs adopted her. The Le Blancs were good and kind people; they helped the poor, donated to charities, and built an organization for the orphans called UNITY. Alice was already contented with her life, but all of her beliefs and luck crumbled down when she entered Saint Clair Academy, and the series of accidents and deaths started again. Of course, it did not help that an irritating genius artist, Thomas Saint Clair, was always at her tail. Now that the number of dead bodies increased, Alice had to investigate whether the accidents were just lousy luck full of coincidence or carefully planned-out murders.

The overall writing style is simple, but it is through that simplicity that the story becomes entirely superb.

There are a couple of errors with pronouns and grammar, but overall the story sounds interesting. The cover is somewhat simple but it fits the luck theme you have going for the main character. All in all, an interesting read.

The cover did not initially draw my eye, but it is fitting after reading some of the story. The grammar is a bit off, and is a bit confusing at times. However, the story is very intriguing and draws the reader in despite the small mistakes. Definitely worth giving it a shot.

Chapter 2 | Thomas

The Le Blancs lived in a remote village where the wealthy reside. Security guards constantly patrolled the area, and the construction workers and street sweepers were only allowed to enter if they had a clearance pass. The playground was filled with quality toys, the court was cleaned every day, and the grass was always trimmed.Alice’s favorite perk of living here was that she could walk at night, safe and sound. And she liked living next to the Browne’s.“How’s your first day?” Wilson, her driver, asked. “Got any new friends?”Wilson had been working for the Le Blancs for ten years now. They hired him and a bunch of bodyguards after adopting Alice, and ever since then, he had been a loyal staff. He treats Alice like his younger sister, and so she immediately felt comfortable around him.“I have a Principal that looks like Professor X,” she said eagerly.“That’s good. That’s g

Chapter 3 | A Keychain for Luck

Alice was fuming mad as she slumped down on the chair; she could almost see herself turning into the Hulk due to the extreme irritation she felt for Thomas Saint Clair. The last time she had ever felt irritated like this was when Leia watched the Avengers: Endgame alone, without telling her. They have not talked with each other for a few days until Leia apologized, and they re-watched the movie together. Alice took out one of her emergency comics, the Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds, to calm herself down. Gratefully, it worked; her annoyance immediately disappeared like a bubble when she vanished within the pages of her book. Comic books had that power on her. It was a way to escape the suffocating and disappointing reality that she had grew up with. With comic books, she felt safe and secured; she felt understood. She started reading when she and her parents went to Times Square for a quick dinner. A vast building with glowing lights and attractive

Chapter 4 | The Phone Call

Alice’s bravery against Candice spread like wildfire within the academy. Some students branded her as a kind-hearted person who stands for the poor, while some branded her as some goody-two-shoes who just wanted attention.The latter rumor was started by Candice, of course. She was so mad at Alice that all she did whenever she sighted Alice was to flip her majestic, blond hair and roll her eyes.Leia found this entertaining. “In the 1950s, eye roll was used to flirt with someone. Shakespeare used that gesture in some of his works.”“That’s an interesting fact,” Helena intervened.Ever since Alice took her side, she started eating lunch with Alice and Leia. The students found this set-up absurd; there was an unspoken rule within the academy that the wealthy should hang with the wealthy, and the poor should stay with the poor.Their little group wrecked that unspoken belief.“I don’t think Candic

Chapter 5 | Where's Helena?

Helena’s phone call immediately slipped from Alice’s mind. Aside from the piles of homework which distracted her from the call, her parents finally had time for a family picnic due to the success of UNITY’s fundraising event.Since the Le Blancs did not have the whole weekend to travel nor drive a three-hour journey to their picnic spot, they held their family picnic into the vast garden. A huge picnic cloth was spread out into the freshly mowed grass as Alice eagerly placed a stack of board games in the center.She faced her father. “Monopoly, Scrabble, or Werewolf?”George hummed, thinking. “Let’s go for Monopoly.”“You always choose that because you’re so good at it,” Alice stated as she put the other two boxes of board games away. “That’s unfair.”Her father laughed. “Life is always unfair. You need to learn how to make your way around it.” That, Ali

Chapter 6 | Distraction

SAINT CLAIR ACADEMY STUDENT REPORTED MISSING: Saint Clair Academy was one of the prestigious schools in the country. Every year, the academy accepts fifty brilliant scholars. Aside from the tuition-less enrollment and quality education, the scholars would receive monthly allowances and free lunch meals. One of these scholars was Helena Woodrow. Helena Woodrow was reported missing by Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow on the thirteenth of September, Monday. The girl was last seen working at Sally’s Pizzeria on the eleventh of September, Saturday. The parents of Helena told the police that Helena would not usually go home for the weekends due to her work at the said pizzeria, so they did not bother when she failed to come home on Sunday. However, Helena did not show up at their house the following day. Moreover, the manager at Sally’s Pizzeria told Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow that Helena did not come to work on Sunday.

Chapter 7 | Palm Village

Three days had passed ever since Helena was reported missing, and it had been five days since she was last seen. However, no report about sightings nor information of her whereabouts had emerged. The students of Saint Clair Academy had settled on a theory that Helena eloped with a secret rich boyfriend; another one was that she ran away from her responsibilities and parents. Alice and Leia, however, were not impressed by these theories. They were friends with Helena for a week, and they knew that it was not in her nature to ran away. It was in her nature to hide around the academy, yes, but not run away. It infuriated Alice that everyone seemed to move on from Helena’s disappearance. However, she knew that she could not do anything but wait for updates and news. So, for the past three days, all she ever did was distract herself. She read comic books nonstop; she watched movies, drowned herself in her Spanish, Algebra, and Chemistry hom

Chapter 8 | The Woodrows

“Do y’all need anything?” A man with a grumpy look came out limping from Helena’s house. The man’s appearance immediately distracted Alice from the keychain hanging on the fence; his knitted eyebrows, defensive stance, and unwelcoming aura proved that he was not too happy about their visit. Leia took a step backward, hiding behind Alice’s back, as she fixed her falling eyeglasses at the bridge of her nose. “Talk to him,” Leia whispered in her ears. Alice cleared her throat despite being afraid. “We’re Helena’s friends. We just wanted to know if there’s any progress on finding her.” “Oh.” The man’s face softened, the knitted eyebrows and knotted forehead slowly vanished. “Alice and Leia, right?” The two exchanged glances. “Lena always talked about the two of you.” The man sighed. “Come on in.” The four rich students of Saint Clair Academy awkwardly made their way into the house, their eyes roaming around, observing the furniture

MISSING SAINT CLAIR ACADEMY STUDENT FOUND DEAD

MISSING SAINT CLAIR ACADEMY STUDENT FOUND DEAD by Deborah McIntosh, Saint Clair Academy journalistOn the thirteenth of September, Helena Woodrow, 16, was reported missing. She was last seen working at the local pizzeria on the eleventh of September. The students of the academy stated that Helena had a secret boyfriend and ran away from her parents. However, it was not the case. On the fourth of October, more than two weeks after Helena was reported missing, a boy swimming on the Pavlov Bay found a floating body. His scream caught the attention of passersby that led them to call the local police. As of the moment, the SPD released some details regarding the case. It was found that Helena had her belongings with her—cellphone, wallet, bag, notebooks, and books—so a robbery gone wrong was already ruled out. There were no struggle marks on her body aside from a soft bruise in her arms. The head police de

Chapter 9 | Helena's Funeral

Everything seemed to happen quickly for Alice the moment Helena’s death was reported on the news. Deaths and accidents were not new to her, but Helena’s death was the one she felt guilty about the most. Questions after questions drowned her mind as the regret ate her insides up. If she did not study at Saint Clair Academy, would this be happening? If she called Helena back after she hung up the call, would it be different? If she told the cops about it immediately, would Helena still be alive? These mind-disturbing guilt and questions were the reason Alice admitted to her parents that Helena called her the night she went missing. This opened a lot of confusion and discussion within the Le Blanc household. In the end, Meredith and George decided to arrange a meeting with the police detective assigned to Helena’s case, Detective Sergio. He was a tall, lean man with clean-cut hazelnut hair. Alice could make out the wrinkles in his forehead and ch
