#1
The Marionettes
2021
A betrayal. A deadly secret. An unlikely ally.
Valerie Darkmore’s entire life has been building up to this moment—her initiation into the Marionettes, the prestigious league of witches sworn to serve the vampires. As one of the last remaining blood witches, her spot is almost guaranteed. At least, so she’d thought.
The academy is full of sabotage and secrets as the tasks begin, and Valerie quickly realizes she has more than her spot on the line. Her survival seems just as uncertain.
The closer she gets to the final trial, the more she learns everything—and everyone—around her isn’t quite what it seems.

#2
Wicked Souls
2021
Something is wrong with Valerie Darkmore.
She may have made it through her initiation into the Marionettes, but she’s quickly learning that was only the beginning. Everything she used to know has changed, including maybe herself.
Adjusting to her new reality proves to be the least of her worries when bodies appear all over the city, and the death toll continues to rise. She can’t count on her partnership with a dangerous vampire prince to be enough to save her. Because while they’re investigating the attacks, the killer might just be looking for her too.
Wicked Souls is the second installment in the dark fantasy romance series, The Marionettes.

#3
Bloodless Ties
2022
I bargained with my life to save myself and everyone else, but maybe death would’ve been better than this…
Taken away from her home and everyone she knows, Valerie Darkmore finds herself in the heart of a world she didn’t know existed.
Everyone she loves thinks she’s dead.
The people who want her dead are now charged with keeping her safe.
As she learns the truth behind the attacks and the unrest that’s been building for years, the time for their plans to come to fruition draws closer.
The more she’s drawn into their world, the less clear it becomes which side is the right one.
Bloodless Ties is the third installment in the dark fantasy romance series, The Marionettes.

#4
Ruthless Ends
2023
How far into the dark would you go for justice…or revenge?
Betrayed by allies and aided by enemies, Valerie Darkmore’s life has twisted into something she no longer recognizes. It’s time to decide where her loyalty lies, and what—or who—she’s willing to sacrifice to save the people she loves.
Her blood magic has been kept on a tight leash since her initiation, but no more. The cities are drenched in blood, old family secrets are revealed, and with evil staring her in the face from both sides, Valerie will make a choice that rocks their world to its core.
The only remaining question is, who will be left standing when she does?
Ruthless Ends is the fourth book in the dark fantasy romance series, The Marionettes.
