𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 | 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 It's all fun and games until someone suggests killing each other's spouses for revenge. Miguel Gomez is your average disgruntled divorcée attending a support group in San Francisco to cope with the split from his wife. Life as a newly single man in his thirties seems bleak, but when an alluring woman named Angie Mendoza walks into his support group, Miguel can't take his eyes off her---until she proposes they kill their exes. At first, he thinks she's crazy, but she's done her homework and has researched reasons why he should kill his ex-wife. Still, he refuses until the abusive ex-husband of his love interest threatens to kill him, and he has no choice but to seek Angie's help. This sends Miguel down a rabbit hole with more twists than a labyrinth, and it could be his ultimate ruin. * * * 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚. * * 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬: ~EDITOR'S PICK Sep 30, 2022 @Wattpad - Adrenaline Rush @WattpadExlorer - Adrenaline Rush @ContemporaryLit - Featured List @BadassReads - Featured Badass Reads @DangerousLove - Wattpad Picks @AdultFiction - Featured Adult Fiction @Mystery - Featured Mystery/Thriller @Crime - Detective & Crime

Goat sucker. Overgrown lizard. Monster. Miguel is all too familiar with the many names humans have for chupacabras. As a member of a struggling pack, he knows how unfair the world can be to his kind. With their scaly bodies, sharp claws, and flesh-melting venom, it's no wonder humans fear them. After Miguel protects a human from his pack leader at the only restaurant that caters to chupacabras, his life takes a turn for the strange when he is offered a job as a chef. Adapting to the culinary chaos soon becomes the least of Miguel's worries as he finds himself falling for Alejandro, an outspoken chef who treats him with more compassion than even his own kind. But what human would ever love a chupacabra? With the restaurant struggling to stay afloat, inter-species tensions flaring, and Alejandro's ex serving as a constant reminder of what he can never be, will Miguel be able to take the heat, or will he be forced out of the kitchen?

Ever since Denizen gave up being a villain and agreed to go through the villain rehabilitation center, life's been a whole lot less stressful. While it's still filled with relationship complications with his friends, Edison and David, Denizen can start to forge a future that makes up for all the memories he's lost. But when Deception-his apparently ex-girlfriend with the power to make anyone believe what she says-kidnaps him, everything he knows for sure is thrown out the window. She tells him a very different story than he's come to know, one where they were a disillusioned, struggling young couple with a dream of a world that's not separated by rich and poor, hero and villain, useful and useless. Is Deception friend or foe? Is her story true? As Denizen balances the careful act of compliant prisoner and wayward accomplice while searching for an escape, the lines between hero and villain blur and he is thrown into the struggle to keep himself straight in this world of increasingly expanding shades of grey.
