"Bad girls have more fun." At least, that's what Amanda thought. Being the most feared and hated student in Belfast High, definitely had its perks and invincibility was one of them. However, when paired with the not-so-charming David Walker, the keeper and broadcaster of everyone's dirty laundry for a media project, Amanda's invincibility is shattered. Karma is an even bigger bitch and is hell bent on making her pay. As the people around her begin disappearing and dropping dead like flies (not to mention her crazy ass black friend who is intent on joining the nunnery, dropping off the face of the earth), evidence linking her to the murder of several residents in Geraldton increases, and a stalker who would stop at nothing to see her pay for her past crimes becomes even more vicious. Amanda realizes one thing: She is a walking target and someone wants her gone forever. "It's time to kiss the bitch and make her die."

Immy Killing can't decide what's worse; that her new housemates are being nasty to her or that they're all creatures of the Underworld. After discovering the alternate society that is right below her feet, Immy expects to never be surprised again. But then she finds a dead body. And the evidence all points to the boy she is falling for. The one person who she believes she can trust. And he isn't getting off lightly. It's a race against time to discover a paranormal killer who seems to be above the law. Suddenly, Immy is being taught the hard way that the rules of her world do not apply to this surreal new one and that some creatures will stop at nothing to get what they want. Immy is not the chosen one; she's not secretly magical or actually a mermaid. But right now, Immy is the only one who can do anything and she won't stop until she saves the five people she lives with, including the two boys who she's oddly drawn to. There is a battle raging between justice and control, life and death, right and wrong, light and dark and Immy Killing is right in the middle of it. Thriller | Paranormal | Romance
