The Rule of Three BY Sam Ripley

The protagonist soon finds herself at the center of this curse. As the rule appears to be coming true, she must confront the terror that not only threatens her life but seems to extend to everyone around her. With each passing moment, the sense of dread intensifies, and the protagonist becomes entangled in a web of paranoia and fear, realizing that the curse might be targeting more than just her.

With its dark twists and relentless tension, Sam Ripley delivers a thriller that is both unnervingly original and utterly compelling, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.
