Vengeance Series
By Christipher Ulm
Introduction
Vengeance is a supernatural mystery thriller series by Christipher Ulm.
The series can be approached in many different ways: whether you choose to start at the beginning of the timeline and work your way through, or kick it all off with the intended introduction to the world, and experience every mystery and revelation that best serves the narrative. :: Check the Index for reading orders :: However, be warned; the characters in these stories all share upbringings that some may find hard to digest. From physical and sexual abuse, to self-harm and suicidal temptation. Blood and death are commonplace among the tortured teens, and their stories lean on one another to construct an expanding world of lore.
If you have any sensitivities, I advise you to proceed with caution.
