Mad Girl

2016

\\CAUTION———-PITCH BLACK READ\\ My mother was the Madison Ridge Killer … and I helped her. At nine, I was given a new start—a new life. My adoptive parents did everything they could to help me forget my past, and for a while, they succeeded. But I was never normal. I never truly forgot all I saw or did. Now, twenty years later, I work in the billing department for a small city newspaper. And like decades before, not that far away, another serial killer is on the loose. I can still see her. I can still hear my mother coaxing me to slide the bright red lipstick over her beautiful victims' lips. But this isn’t her and I’m determined to figure out who it is. I may work behind the scenes at the Rockford Times, but I’m about to get thrown right in the middle of the biggest story our city has ever seen. My name is Anna Monroe and I’m full of secrets. They say you’re not your past. I’m not so sure they’re right.

MasterMind

2018

MasterMind is a STANDALONE, but it's suggested that you read Mad Girl (The Chronicles of Anna Monroe) and Never Far if you wish to connect more with the characters. Being a victim was something Anna Monroe knew all too well. When three girls go missing, she’s pulled back into the haunting memories of her past. Not just as a captive to a serial killer…but as a killer, herself. She knows she has to do everything in her power to get them back. What Anna doesn’t prepare for is the latest victim’s obsessive boyfriend. Boston Marks will stop at nothing to find Lucy. With girls showing up dead, he doesn’t have much time. Anna is the key to unraveling this mystery, but will their special skills be enough to outsmart a killer? Or is their paring exactly what he wants? Anna and Boston think they have everything figured out. Little do they know, nothing is as it appears. Every clue they discover, I’ve strategically placed. Every suspicion they get, I’ve already calculated. They think they stand a chance against me. They’re wrong. I’m not just the messiah to murders. I’m the mastermind behind them all. PITCH BLACK STATIC WHITE OBLIVION ⌧ WARNINGS: This story is categorized as OBLIVION on the PITCH BLACK scale. It is the DARKEST of DARK. Proceed with caution.
