Vile Boys
2022
Winter Grove University is the dream school for anyone who wants to get somewhere in life, no matter if you’re an alpha, beta, or even an omega.
It’s almost impossible to get in. So when I beat the odds, I know it’ll be life changing.
I just don’t expect death on campus during orientation, or a warning to stay in my lane if I want to get through the next four years successfully.
Not that I’m worried, or anything.
That is, until the three most influential boys of Winter Grove decide to dedicate the semester to making my life a living hell for reasons that probably aren’t my fault.
Foster, Dorian, and August know how to hold a grudge. And they’re not willing to let me forget any slight I may have committed against them. Now, with three boys making my life hell and bodies piling up around campus, I have to wonder if maybe I should stop worrying about my grades and instead focus on the two alphas and a beta who can’t seem to leave me alone or the killer who might be closer than we thought.

Wicked Girl
2022
The murders may be over, but my heartache is back in full force, thanks to my mother and my own misgivings.
When I return to Winter Grove early and end up relying on the pack to help me out, I’m sure it’s a new form of torture. Instead, I find myself growing closer to August and Foster. I can’t help but think they’re dragging me deeper underwater, with no intention of letting me up for air anytime soon.
To add to the confusion, a new arrival at the university has a grudge against the pack, and she knows that getting to them is easier when she’s targeting anyone who’s more vulnerable than the boys.
And that might include me, despite how much I want to stay out of it.
But when she goes after my place at Winter Grove and the pack that I might be willing to call my own, will I just let her? Or will I take a few lessons from my vile boys and show her I’m not so quick to surrender?
Wicked Girl is the second book in the Knot Their Toy duet and includes omegaverse, M/M, poly, and bullying.
