I live in Blackbrooke and you would have had to be living under a rock to never have heard of it before now. This town is different to most others…Humans aren’t the only residents…” The residents of Blackbrooke share their town with the Creatures, or Crits as they are known. Grotesque, roaming the streets at night looking for food, their presence means humans have to live by the Rules, keeping them indoors and forbidding them of basic desires. The most important Rule? Don’t be a ‘walk out’! Straight-A student, Liberty Connor, hates the Crits and the endless Rules she and her tight knit group of friends have to live by. Planning her new life on the Outside with her boyfriend, Gabriel, Liberty whiles away her days waiting to turn 18, so they can leave and be free. That is, until the world she thinks she knows begins to unravel… Her friends start to walk out. So she’s told. However, something’s not right. Things don’t add up. Liberty faces a race against time to discover what’s going on with the Creatures of Blackbrooke. Is it them she has to fear, or something much closer to home? Blackbrooke is a Young Adult horror novel that has you on the edge of your seat.

Liberty’s fight continues. After she had discovered the truth behind ‘walk outs’ in her hometown of Blackbrooke and forced to sacrifice her best friend, Liberty Connor thought she was finally free. But her nightmare was only just beginning. Taken to the Institute, a research facility dedicated to Blackbrooke, Liberty finds herself under the watchful eye of sinister Blackbrooke guardian, Mr Jones. Things aren’t as they seem. Familiar faces provide little comfort, and she soon realises the Crits aren’t the only specimens under the microscope. Determined to escape, Liberty is once again plunged into a world beyond her comprehension. The one thing she knows for certain is: trust no one. Friends become strangers, but help is at hand from unexpected quarters. Forced to confront her real enemy, Liberty is left with one familiar choice. Fight.

"I’ll find him, and I’ll kill him." Liberty Connor is back in Blackbrooke, and this time there’s no escape. The gates are closed, and the town has descended into chaos without its precious Rules. Crits are roaming the streets day and night, picking off humans where they find them. Liberty must put an end to a plan to finish the town and kill everyone, but there’s a catch: her childhood friend and one time love, Cassius Godwin, is the ominous figure behind the war – the King of Queens. Liberty needs to set aside her feelings and, with the world watching, stop his madness before he destroys Blackbrooke for good. But she’s running out of time…
