A Secret Melody

A Secret Melody is the fourth and final book in The Rules Series. It is a short novella about a character that readers often asked Hanleigh Bradley about. Melody Peters is Landon Peters' deceased sister. The reader starts the book knowing that its main character is already dead and therefore there is no happily ever after coming. The book follows Melody Peters and Zach Mulligan.

Book Description
My name is Melody Peters and I’m dead. Gosh, that sounds dramatic doesn’t it – except I guess you don’t get more dramatic than dead.

I have been a while now. I’ve gotten used to it. I’m well past the acceptance stage.

I died when I was sixteen. A car crash. A drunk driver, I think. I’d been on my way home from boarding school with my best friend Abby. But then I’d died.

I don’t think I was ready to die. I had too many things left to do. Fuck, I hadn’t even written a bucket list yet. The one thing I had done?

I’d fallen in love.

His name was Zach. Zach Mulligan. He wasn’t my first boyfriend. Hell, he wasn’t even the first boy my big brother caught trying to climb out my bedroom window. Although, he was only the second. I wasn’t a complete slag.

But he was the first and only boy I ever fell in love with.

Plot
Melody is sixteen and attending boarding school in the South East of England when Zach transfers to the school. She is asked to show him around and initially, she is unwilling to get to know him.

They become friends and then start dating. This short novella follows them as they have their first love, right up until the moment it ends with a car crash.
