You might find a few bonus giveaways in hidden links throughout the Scavenger Hunt, too, including print copies of Deadlock!

To get you started, here is the first chapter of Deadlock! I’m so excited for you to meet Lindsey and Jace.

Chapter 1:

I’m going to kill my sister.

Lindsey Morris gritted her teeth into a smile for the photo her jolly Aunt Martha snapped, the silent threat in her head becoming more of an inevitable truth with each passing moment. God knows, it wasn’t unlike her twin sister Lena to flake out on her, but their parents’ fortieth anniversary party was something the two of them had been planning for months. All for Lena to leave Lindsey holding the bag. Again.

Relieved from picture duty at last, she left her parents and hustled in her towering heels across the banquet hall to check on the champagne, dodging cousins and uncles and aunts. She hadn’t seen some of them in years. If a certain sister hadn’t left her running this entire show, she might have had time to stop and catch up with each of them.

All of it had come together nicely, though. Her parents were beaming in front of a life-size poster of one of their wedding pictures, forty years having done nothing to dim their happiness and love for each other. Lindsey snapped a picture of her own before slipping out the door into an echoing hallway to dial Lena. As expected, her sister’s voicemail greeting chirped in her ear.

“Hello?” A long pause ensued, during which Lindsey’s blood pressure spiked. “Gotcha! Sorry, you don’t get to talk to me right now. If you want to talk to me later, better make it good.”

Lindsey waited for the tone. “I don’t want to talk to you. I want to strangle you. Dammit, Lena, where are you?”

Hours passed before she could get away to the blissful solitude of her apartment, where she hoped a glass of wine and a Simpsons marathon might make her feel a little better. But even Bart and Homer’s animated antics weren’t enough. Her anger had burned away to sad ashes, and she couldn’t get her parents’ disappointed faces out of her mind. It would serve Lena right if none of them ever spoke to her again, as drastic as it sounded, but something about Lena made one eager to trust her and believe her when she made the promises she never kept. And the anger Lindsey felt when that inevitably happened could just as easily be turned on herself for enabling her twin, for never enforcing any consequences when Lena flaked out.

But how many times had she tried? How many times had it worked?

Then her glass was empty, and she poured another, sitting alone on her couch and staring at the way the light from the TV played hypnotically through the crimson depths as she swirled the liquid in her glass. Everything she was doing to make herself feel better was having the opposite effect. The fact she had no one to vent her frustrations to made it worse. Bad-mouthing her sister to their parents wasn’t an option, especially today—they were probably on the plane for their anniversary trip to Cabo San Lucas.

Lucky them.

“I need a vacation, too,” Lindsey told her wineglass. It was the only one there to listen. Then, sighing, she set it down on her coffee table and picked up her phone, shooting ramrod straight when she saw that she had somehow missed a text from Lena twenty minutes ago. She’d probably been in the kitchen scavenging.

Sorry. Ran into some trouble. Give Mom and Dad my love. I need a favor. Go to this address and ask him for help. Please. It will all become clear.

An address followed, which Lindsey’s eyes scanned without seeing. Her brain had shorted out on the word “favor.”

“Are you freaking kidding me?” she asked her phone, gripping it with a force that threatened to shatter it.

Lena in trouble was nothing new. Ever since high school, on through college, and even after, she’d been getting herself or someone else into shit she couldn’t always talk her way out of. Thinking Lindsey would simply forget about tonight and rush in to help her was simply par for the course, but Jesus, it had to stop sometime, didn’t it?

One thing was for sure. No way was she going to that address, wherever it was. To some strange place to ask someone she didn’t know for—what, even? Who was she supposed to be looking for? She wasn’t about to let Lena make her look like an idiot on top of everything.

No one else could get her off her warm cocoon on the couch to face the biting cold. She didn’t know what she might find at her sister’s apartment; she didn’t care, but she was going all the same. Lena probably wouldn’t be there, but maybe it wouldn’t be too difficult to nose around and find out where she was. Then she would go find her, even if she had to hop on a plane to do it.

There were some things she desperately needed to say to Lena’s face, and it was well past time.

She rushed through her apartment, throwing on a coat and shoving her feet into boots, her pulse pounding in her ears. No one else on earth could push her buttons like this. Lindsey hadn’t trusted Lena since college, her twin’s antics during that particular time of their lives having been the final straw.

Yes, she was her sister. Yes, Lindsey still loved her as such. Gossip sessions, shopping trips, friendship…those areas had always come easily. But real trust?That ship had sailed years ago, when Lena had pulled what was probably her cruelest stunt of all—at least that Lindsey knew of. The skeletons that could lurk hidden in Lena’s closet were enough to give her cold chills. The two of them had the same face, and Lena probably had enough enemies that Lindsey should look over her own shoulder when she walked down the street.

In the back of the Uber she called because wine and rage and driving didn’t mix, she white-knuckled her purse straps all the way to her sister’s apartment, going over everything she wanted to say in her mind in case Lena was there. Confrontation ordinarily tied her tongue up in knots, and no doubt it would this time.

She had to have her words straight in her head or they would slip right out. But niggling in the back of her mind was the fact that their parents would never get over an irreparable rift between them, no matter the cause. It was enough for her to rein in on a few of the epithets she wished to hurl at Lena’s perpetually smug face. But not many.

If Lena was off having a grand adventure with plans to show up next week thinking all was well—she added the epithets back in.

Long ago, Lena had given Lindsey a key to her apartment so she could water her plants while she was away. The plants had died anyway—Lena didn’t even take care of them herself after she got home from wherever she’d been. But Lindsey had hung on to the key, and it had come in handy more than once. She stalked directly to her sister’s door, lifted her fist to beat on it, thought better of it—she might not even answer—and fit the key into the lock.

The sight that greeted her as she flipped the nearby light switch caused her heart to stutter and her breath to catch, momentarily choking her.

Her sister’s apartment was trashed.

Scavenger Hunt: Where are Lindsey’s parents going for their anniversary trip?

  2. Singapore Mattress Guide: T?? Real Factors That Matter ?n 2026

    Choosing ? new mattress singapore ?s one ?f t?e biggest Singapore furniture investments
    m?st households wil? make, ??t it’s surprisingly easy
    t? g?t wrong. Mo?t people spend mo?e time choosing ? sofa thqn they
    d? choosing t?e bed fr?me th?y use every night.
    ?he Somnuz range f?om Megafurniture was designed specifically t? make th?s decision clearer f?r Singapore buyers by covering t?e f?ur main construction types m?st local families compare.

    Singapore’? unique living environment t?rns mattress buying
    into a hig??r-stakes decision than many first-time buyers expect.

    Singapore’? yea?-?ound humidity ?uts extra pressure ?n moisture management
    ins?de any mattress singapore. A ?arge num?er of Singapore
    families deal ?ith dust-mite reactions, even if they ?aven’t connected t?e dots to
    thei? mattress singapore. Th? widespread u?? of aircon ?t night ?an ma?e certain foam
    types feel firmer ?r less comfortable t?an they did und?r bright furniture store lights.

    ?hen yo? w?lk into ?ny furniture showroom in Singapore,
    ?ou’ll mainl? see four core mattress construction types
    worth comparing. Pocketed spring designs ?emain popular ?ecause e?ch
    coil ?orks ?n ?t? own, reducing partner disturbance ?hile
    allowing air t? circulatre freely. Memory foam ?s loved for ?t? hugging feel ?nd motion isolation, t?ough traditional
    versions ?ometimes retain warmth ?n Singapore bedrooms.
    Latex mattresses stand ?ut for t?eir responsive
    bounce, superior breathability, ?nd built-in resistance to allergens ?nd mould.
    Hybrid constructions combine pocketed springs ?ith
    foam ?r latex comfort layers t? deliver the b?st of b?t? worlds.

    The Somnuz range at Megafurniture ??? creat?d tto l?t Singapore buyers compare t?es? f?ur categories directly and easily.

    Firmness ?? the mo?t ?iscussed matgtress feature, ?et it’s also the
    most misunderstood ?ecause it feels ?ompletely d?fferent depending ?n yo?r body weight annd sleeping position.
    ?ide sleepers ?sually d? best on medium-soft to medium
    ?? the shoulders ?nd hips c?n sink in slightly. Back sleepers often feel most comfortable ?n medium to medium-firm surfaces t?at support th? lower ba?k properly.
    Firm mattresses ?ork ?etter for stomach sleepers ?ecause they ?eep t?e
    spine in bett?r alignment.

    HDB and condo bedrooms ?n Singapore ??e typically ?maller,
    m?king corrct sizing essential ?ather than j?st chasing the biggest option. Cover fabric choice
    matters m?re in Singapore t?an most buyers initially t?ink.
    Bamboo covers ?sed in some Somnuz models provide superior breathability ?nd ?elp reduce musty build-up o?er time.
    The water-repellent cover ?n the Somnuz Comfort
    Night m?kes it f?r mor? practical for real Singapore family life.

    ?ere’s ho? t?e Somnuz mattresses ?ine up w?t? real household requirements ?n Singapore.
    The Somnuz Comfy serves ?? the practical entry-level choice — ?
    solid 10-inch pocketed-spring mattress ideal f?r couples
    or single sleepers ?ho want reliable support with?ut premium pricing.
    Somnuz Comforto appeals t? hot sleepers and allergy-sensitive households t?anks t? its
    breathable bsmboo cover and latex layer. ?he Somnuz Comfort Night features ? water-repellent cover ?nd ?s perfect f?r families w?th ?oung children,
    pets, or anyone wanting extra moisture protection in our climate.
    For those ?ho want the most upscale experience, t?e Somnuz Roman series sits
    at the top of the range.

    Spending only a m?nute or two lying on a mattress singapore ?n the furniture showroom rarely g?ves you th? ?nformation you a?tually need.
    ??ing ?our o?n pillow ?nd test t?gether ?ith yo?r partner ?o you c?n feel real motion transfer ?nd pressure ?oints.
    You c?n try t?e enti?e Somnuz collection comfortably ?t
    Megafurniture’? Joo Seng flagship ?r Tampines outlet.

    Delivery scheduling ?s more important th?n m?ny buyers realise when buying mattress singapore items.
    Check ?hether ol? mattress disposal ?s included
    and ?ead the warranty terms carefully — not ?ll “10-year warranties” cover the same things.

    A quality mattress ?hould comfortably ?ast 8–10
    years in Singapore conditions when chosen ?nd maintained properly.
    If morning stiffness, visible sagging, ?r increased motion transfer ?ppear, it’s
    time to replace — t?e body often compensates fo? a failing mattress l?nger than m?st people realise.
    Visit Megafurniture’? furniture showroom or browse t?eir f?ll mattress singapore collection online
    to find t?e Somnuz model t?at matches ?o?r ne?ds and budget.
