'What's the worst that could happen?'
That's what Mae thought when she decided to help Ava- the girl in the bloodstained dress and dead eyes. Hours later, that same question haunts her, echoing through the chaos unravelling around her.
Now Mae's in way too deep. There's a dead body lying at her feet, and Ava's dragging her into a web of lies, murder, and split-second choices.
And then there's Reese. He's sketchy, unreadable, and yet, somehow, he's the only person who might help them clean up this mess. But Mae can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something. Is he on their side, or just another threat in a night that's spiralling out of control?

After an abusive relationship, college sophomore Ava Winters begins a spree of vigilante killing against the men she deems evil at her university. You can't trust just anyone with a pretty face. Case in point: College sophomore Ava Winters doesn't look like your typical serial killer, but her body count is rising.

In a series of misguided, traumatic attempts to find love after Ethan, Ava finds herself heartbroken and taken advantage of time and time again.

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin
