Anita Petrovsky doesn't believe in redemption. She kills who she's paid to kill, clean, quiet, without hesitation. The latest target is just another name on her list: Marilyn Thornhill. But when she infiltrates Willow Hill to take the shot, someone beats her to it. Tyler Galpin. Their paths should've ended that night. Instead, Jericho becomes too small for two predators with the same prey list and the same ruthless intent. She kills for order, he kills for revenge. Together, they carve their way through the rot that festers beneath Jericho's polished surface, partners born not from trust, but from necessity. And yet, somewhere between the gunfire, the shadows, and the bodies they leave behind, something dangerous begins to form. It's not love. Not yet. Just the ache of two broken creatures who finally see themselves in each other. Enemies. Partners. Something more. In Jericho, even monsters crave company.

Rhea Addams, daughter of the elusive Ophelia Addams and cousin to Wednesday, arrives at Nevermore Academy with a past shrouded in unanswered questions. Raised by her father after her mother's disappearance, Rhea carries not only the weight of her Addams heritage but also the rare ability to bend shadows to her will, a gift inherited from his outcast bloodline. Alongside her raven visions, cryptic glimpses of death and omens, her powers set her apart, even in a school filled with the strange and supernatural. As she settles into life at Nevermore, Rhea finds herself balancing her school life with the allure of mysteries far darker than she imagined. Drawn to the charm of Tyler Galpin, the local barista who seems to understand her outsider's heart, Rhea becomes entangled in a dangerous connection. But beneath his disarming smile lies a monstrous truth, one that threatens to consume them both and pull her deeper into the shadows than she ever intended to go.
