Nightshift Guardian

The woman Layla drags home from behind the convenience store wakes up knowing her name—and claiming to be her guardian angel. Then, in Layla’s rearview mirror, a black shape crawls after them. Kira can’t fly, can’t cook, and eats a week’s worth of Layla’s snacks, but she insists something inhuman is hunting her. When dead customers appear on the security feed and Layla receives a voice message from her dead mother, the sarcastic cashier is forced to trust the disaster angel sleeping on her couch. But Kira is hiding the truth: she failed to protect Layla’s mother once before—and the creature wearing the dead woman’s voice is coming for Layla next. Will Layla trust the guardian who betrayed her family, or let the thing behind the shadow rift take her mother’s place forever?
