A Frankenstein-tinged horror romance just in time for spooky season 👻 MAKE ME A MONSTER is out today!
Cover to Deadly Ever After, the heart-stopping young adult romantasy coming out November 4, 2025. Pre-orders available now. Cover is illustrated dark princess with a purple dress laying in a flower field with a spider on her chest. She's surrounded by a bloodied sword underneath a tiara, and a gilded snake.
Against a golden and grassy backdrop is “ABOUT DEADLY EVER AFTER Two dead princesses must find true love's kiss to bring them back to life in this heart-stopping romantic fantasy debut. For fans of Cinderella Is Dead and Girl, Serpent, Thorn. Amala has spent her whole life trying to be the perfect princess: delicate, quiet, obedient. But when she's murdered on the night of her wedding, her story is cut short before it begins. Kha'dasia has been told her whole life that she is too rough, too loud, too much. She's no ordinary princess but a ruthless warrior on a quest to fulfill her late brother's dying wish. Except she dies before reaching her destination. When both girls wake up in a cursed forest, the gods offer them a second chance at life—if they can find true love's kiss. But there's a catch, the gods warn. While the right kiss will save you, the wrong kiss will kill you. On their journey, the princesses must overcome challenges that force them to face the truth of their lives...and their deaths. And as Amala and Kha'dasia grow closer, they can't help but wonder if true love has been standing right in front of them all along.”
My debut YA romantasy, DEADLY EVER AFTER, is out 11/4/25 and you can PRE-ORDER it now!
