Pretty Poisoned

2024

Teagan Townsend has never really fit in and gave up trying a long time ago. A college dropout obsessed with horror, true crime, and the occult, Teagan prefers books to people, her hookups casual, and her friendships nonexistent. Lately, her focus has been on jumpstarting her true crime podcast…which brings her to her latest obsession. Led by brothers Declan and Luca De Rossi, Gods of Tomorrow is an emerging rock band known for haunting lyrics, an extreme, overzealous fanbase, and their literal appetite for blood. Chaos and violence follow the band wherever they go—whether it’s from their fanbase or people in their own circle. But no matter how many girls go missing or die under mysterious circumstances, everyone looks the other way. When Teagan gets a backstage pass to their show, she’s determined to find out what’s going on and expose them. Except…the closer she gets, the harder it is to see them for what they really are. Dangerous. Manipulative. Killers. Seduced by the rock and roll underworld—by sex, drugs, and violence, by living free of consequences—will Teagan escape the spell she’s under before it ruins her? Or will they wake something inside of her that she can’t put back to sleep? If you are not comfortable with blood, you will not enjoy this book. Please check trigger warnings before reading.

The Road to Ruined

2024

The Road to Ruined is the conclusion to the Gods of Tomorrow Duet and should be read after Pretty Poisoned. The following contains spoilers for Pretty Poisoned. "She's not a kitten—she's a monster. And you can't keep monsters as pets." It’s been months since anyone has seen or heard from Declan and Luca De Rossi. Months since they left Teagan face-down in the dirt and disappeared on a plane bound for nowhere. Just released from a mental institution, Teagan struggles to adjust to life without them, as well as her newfound notoriety and the reality that they’ve abandoned her. But no matter how hard she tries, she can’t let go; she can’t move on. She can’t go back to the way things were or the person she was before it all happened. Especially when part of her is still convinced they’re out there, and somehow, they’ll be back…for her. But they’re all watching—not just her family and the fans, but the police, too…as well as The Order. A man in a gold mask follows her wherever she goes to ensure she stays in line…and that she understands what will happen to her if she doesn’t. Or she’s finally lost her mind. But Teagan never really learned to run in the other direction when she found herself face-to-face with real monsters. And she isn’t going to start now.
