Beetles & Blood
In the eerie halls of Nevermore Academy, where the strange and supernatural are just part of daily life, Paloma Addams is trying to navigate high school as her usual awkward, animal-whispering self. Twin sister to Pugsley Addams, Paloma is as peculiar as her famous family, but her heart harbors a secret-and dangerous-obsession.
When Eugene Ottinger, the brilliant but indifferent student, catches her eye, Paloma falls hard. The problem? Eugene couldn't care less. In fact, he finds her odd... especially alongside her chaotic brother. But Paloma is an Addams, and Addams don't take "no" for an answer.
What begins as innocent admiration quickly spirals into secret notes, hidden gestures, and carefully orchestrated encounters designed to win Eugene's attention. As she transforms herself into the "perfect" girl in his eyes, a darker side emerges-one that even Paloma struggles to control. Soon, Eugene finds himself the unwitting target of a mysterious secret admirer, unaware that the lines between love, obsession, and danger are blurring with every step she takes.
Beetles & Blood is a twisted tale of love, identity, and the lengths one will go to be noticed-perfect for fans of the macabre, the awkwardly endearing, and the deliciously sinister.
