Everyone says Cruella Queen is a bad idea, but Moxie King doesn't care what anyone else thinks. ☆ companion novel to BRIGHTSIDE by @thaliagrace- ☆ ***** Moxie King isn't quite ready for popstar Cruella Queen to come crashing into her life when she embarks on her first headlining tour after dropping her debut album MONARCH alongside her brother Mick, but the blonde starlet is too painfully gorgeous to forget. While Cruella has a Grammy to her name, she has far more headlines (not for good reasons, either). Moxie finds herself all too willing to root for the anti-hero. Even if it means pulling herself under in the process.
