Chupacabra

"Hi! It's me, Alessandra Dacey Hernández - high school senior and East Valley Ridge's most fearless investigative journalist. I guess it all started when I was barely a toddler, ever since my dad, a renowned reporter, died under mysterious circumstances. It was then that I vowed to continue his mission and seek out truth at any cost. And this year, l've stumbled on a secret that could change East Valley Ridge forever. Students have been going missing, and I know there's some kind of cover-up afoot. Our local billionaire holds weird ceremonies at his mansion. Jonas Blackwater, the handsome rich kid at our school, knows much more than he's letting on. And on top of that, our town has a legend about a secret society that draws its power from the weirdest of all cryptids: the Chupacabra. I feel like all of this could be connected... but how? My dad always believed that Chupacabras were real, and he taught me that a true journalist never backs down, no matter the risk. The community needs answers, and I'm on the case. Cults, conspiracies, and chupacabras - it's the story of a lifetime! I just hope I live long enough to tell it."--
