Oh wow... so finally got my account back... deleting the story for now as I had been reworking the whole thing the last five months.
Hi by the way hope you all have been doing amazing, we will be reloading once I am done going through and changing everything.
Y’all stay safe!

First and foremost i would like to apologize for the hiatus. Mental health and work were colliding so i had no leeway to actually sit down and write.
We will be updating CheckMate Murder and getting it finished!
Thank you all for the love and support! <3

♟️ The Game Has Just Changed…

The first two chapters of The Checkmate Murder: First Move have been completely rewritten—and the stakes are deadlier than ever.

Step back onto the board where secrets cut sharper than blades and every move could be your last. With tighter twists, deeper tension, and fresh clues dropped like poisoned pawns, this is the perfect time to (re)join the game.


🕵️‍♀️ Whether you're starting fresh or revisiting the mystery—don't miss the new and improved opening that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Now live.
Now lethal.
Your move.
