'Isabelle Humphrey resents her half-brother, Jason. One afternoon, she is forced to take him to the movies. Once settled into her seat in the cinema, she falls asleep. But when she wakes up, she’s shocked to discover that she’s completely alone. Wondering where everyone has gone, she leaves and finds herself completely abandoned in the world’s largest mall. She soon discovers other people left behind: two police officers, an old farmer, a shop owner, a paranoid young man, and her school bully, Miranda. All exits have been sealed shut, and all electrical devices refuse to work. There’s an oncoming storm that threatens them with a blackout, but they soon discover that they’re not completely alone: someone or something is watching them. A dark supernatural force is at work, and Jason proves to be the key. It’s up to Isabelle to be brave, find Jason, and end this horrendous nightmare once and for all. It’s a race against time for survival as this violent force takes them one by one.'

'Josh Riley knows his family’s old house holds painful memories from the robbery, but he hates the gloomy place where they’re living now. The rooms are too dark, and it always seems to be raining outside. Instead of reducing his anxiety, the new environment only makes it worse.

'Besides his appointments with a therapist, school is the only thing that makes Josh feel normal. Seeing his best friends and his girlfriend, Emma, helps him forget his worries. Then he meets the new girl, Amanda Wolf, and all the tension returns. Her black makeup, piercing green eyes, and subtle smirk give him the creeps.

'Shortly after her arrival, Josh begins to hear knocking at his front door after dark. Is it Amanda, the robbers from before—or something else? He tries calling the police, installing a surveillance camera, and even replacing the door, but still someone—or something—keeps pounding on the door and jiggling the knob.

'Days go by with more questions than answers. Josh’s parents are out of town, and his research keeps hitting dead ends. Then, one night when Emma has stopped by, she hears the knocking, and before Josh can stop her, she innocently opens the door…'

'Amy Millers is one lucky girl, or maybe fate intervened. In an industry that's full of enthusiastic, driven and determined journalists, she's been offered the chance of a lifetime to work at Gates Publishing, one of the world's largest publishing firms. They stink of money and power and when they let their money do the talking, they become untouchable in every way. From all the hundreds of applicants who applied, they wanted Amy. It must have been her deep love and long standing commitment for the English language that they sensed because she shined brighter than the rest. There's more to Amy than her love of writing. She dreams a lot and her dreams are not always nice. Sometimes, her dreams come true, for better and for worst. Her nightmares especially, are vivid, disturbing and a tease of what is to come. She's always been in denial about her dreams, but she will soon find out that denial will take her nowhere and that it can even be dangerous to her and to those she loves. The catch with her dream job is that she must move up north to a town called Pleasant View. The residents are in simple terms, loaded, and they have the power to dictate what goes and what doesn't. It's a place where the rich and elite travel to escape city life when it all becomes too much for them. Amy makes the bold decision and leaves everyone and everything behind, but things prove to be very different in Pleasant View and through a series of twisted events, Amy realizes that she's definitely not home anymore, for more wrong reasons than good. Discover the dark mystery that Pleasant View reserves for Amy!'
