Flora never planned to end up here, but after one too many mistakes, her life dives for rock bottom. Now, she's trapped in a world she doesn't understand, haunted by a past she can't outrun. And at the center of it all stands the boy she'd sworn to forget. What once was fate, fractures into an illusion and twist into something dangerously evil. They were kids together. Friends together. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵. She's new. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵. She's fresh meat. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. What happens when they reunite? Secrets unfold. Chaos runs free. And the line between love and ruin sharpens into a thin blade, as history proves to repeat itself in its cruelest form. A girl. A boy. And a mad house that feeds on sin. There's no place to hide here. You can run, but you'll never get away. "𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘦𝘥𝘭𝘢𝘮. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺." 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲

❝ inside every one of us a shadow side, i call it my better side.❞ ╰┈➤ ╰┈➤ ╰┈➤ When Pearl embarks on its most ambitious tour yet, lead singer June Evans is hanging on by a thread. She's sick of compliance- the meds, the therapy, the sobriety, the emotional chasm that comes with being okay. What she really craves is an excuse to fall apart. She doesn't expect that excuse to come in the form of the beautifully tragic lead singer of The Neurotics. Luke Hemmings has a secret, though. He's been sickeningly obsessed with June for years before they even met- before a joint tour between Pearl and The Neurotics was even a possibility. But when they find that their broken pieces align perfectly together, the clock to their mutual destruction begins to tick. Is it really worth it to love someone to death?

Josephine Kingston is used to everyone falling at her feet. Well... her daddy's feet. She's over it. She just wants someone to see her without seeing her father first. Without ulterior motives. She accepts that that's probably never going to happen; until...
