Once upon a time, a girl was saved by a monster that lived in a dungeon. That girl was me. Now my monster's been taken by my worst nightmare. I should be scared. But all I want is revenge. Note: This is the first dark contemporary novella in a series of 5 episodic stand-alone stories about Brian and Mina, a couple from the Pleasure House world. Their origin story can be read in Broken Dolls by Kitty Thomas. (Book 2 of the Pleasure House, which can be read as a stand alone.)

Mina, my dark phoenix rising from the ashes, the goddess returning from her descent into the underworld. I will kill anyone who dares to threaten her. But what if I’m the one who breaks her this time? What if I become her angel of death? NOTE: This is book 2 in Brian and Mina's Holiday Hits. You must read book 1, The Easter Hunt, first, as these novellas build upon each other in an episodic way. This couple's origin story can be found in Broken Dolls (standalone book 2 in the Pleasure House) It isn't necessary to ready Book 1 in the Pleasure House to get caught up on this couple's story. They appear in cameos after Broken Dolls in the rest of that completed series, but the events of books three onward happen AFTER the events in this series.

“Brian and Mina are THAT couple for me. I don't care what they do, how they do it or why they do it. I'm going to be rooting for them EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.” - Morgan, Goodreads You’ll never catch Brian at a formal dress masquerade ball… unless he’s got someone to kill. But being able to hide in plain sight right under the noses of all the wealthy polite people of society is motivation enough to get Brian to put on a suit. And the kill is perfectly planned. But all is not so neat and tidy. An old rival of Brian’s is vying for the same job, but he intends to take more from Brian than just a contract. It’s spooky season, and the stakes have gotten higher and just a little bit scarier. NOTE: If you're new to Brian and Mina please start with Broken Dolls Then you can start the Holiday Hits: Easter Hunt, Blowing Things Up, and then The Massacre Ball.

"I turn slowly toward her, and that thin frail hope that I’d held onto… the hope that I could sate the demon raging within me and cool off my simmering rage by hacking up Gregor… that I could spare Mina my evil tonight… that hope is gone. What will I do when I catch this little rabbit?" The events of Halloween haunt me. I can't get them out of my head. I wanted to remove Mina from this world. But it wasn’t me… I don’t want her gone. I’m not some crazed jealous abusive boyfriend. I wasn’t mad at her. I know she did nothing wrong. It was the wild in me. The dark in me. It was the other, the something else that isn’t me, the broken shards of what I became so long ago. The animal. The monster. That inhuman thing. There is no saving me. NOTE: This series must be read in order, starting with THE EASTER HUNT. If you're new to this couple please start with book 2 in the Pleasure House series, BROKEN DOLLS (the books in the pleasure house world can all be read as standalones.)

“Oh. My. God… this little series is getting more unhinged as we go and I am here for it.” -ScarletFix, Goodreads What is Brian hiding from me? What terrible truth do I not know? The ominous warning of The Tower hangs between us, threatening to topple us to our doom. I look for the answers behind the veil, asking fate to spill forth its secrets so that I can somehow save us before it’s too late. And yet the sands keep falling through the hourglass as time races faster and faster, pushing us to our certain end.

\*Release Date delayed to December 18th. "Be honest with me, Brian. Are we going on a cross-country killing spree?" "I'd hardly call it a spree." Brian Sloane is a pure psychopathic monster... to everyone but Mina. She was looking for a good man to scratch a particular itch but instead ended up bought by the violent enforcer of a submissive training house. Against all odds, the villain became her hero. She was the light to his dark until the lights went out, and the darkness inside her came out to play. Now they're both killers, chasing the blood lust, running toward their demons, each hit job more dangerous than the last. From a twisted Easter hunt, to an explosive Fourth of July, from a deadly masquerade ball, to an even deadlier Krampus run, culminating in the Do or Die Valentine's Day Kill that will either seal their doom or their happily ever after. Do killers even deserve a happy ending? Note: This is the Omnibus edition of the entire completed "Brian and Mina's Holiday Hits" series.
