What the Dead Leave Behind is the gritty, emotionally charged sequel to The Lies We Live By, plunging readers deeper into a world of monster-hunting, unresolved grief, and snow-choked roads. Following Allie Devereux and Kaz Benowitz—a sharp, emotionally scarred Scorpio and her weary, half-merman partner—it finds the duo reeling from past horrors while navigating a chilling new mission in remote, wintry Ireland. As members of the mysterious Black Thorn Collective, their job is to fight the supernatural—but what they uncover on this island goes beyond monsters. It's a dark, slow-burn descent into memory, identity, and what it means to keep going when the world refuses to make sense. With razor-edged banter, deep character bonds, and an atmosphere soaked in gasoline, ash, and dark humor, this is not your average paranormal adventure.

HETTY NEVER WANTED TO BE A HERO.
          
          Three years after her mother vanished without a trace, Hetty’s been trapped in a house with a monster—her father. She’s angry, bitter, and perfectly fine being the class mean girl. Heroes? She hates them. Their fake smiles, their shiny reputations, the way the world worships them like gods.
          
          But when a new superhero transfers to her school, everything starts to crack. Hetty discovers powers of her own—and a truth that shatters everything:
          
          Her mother wasn’t just a hero. She was legendary.
          And Hetty? She’s next in line.
          
          Now she’s forced into an elite hero academy where everyone wants her to smile pretty, play nice, and become the second coming of her mom.
          
          But Hetty isn’t her mother.
          She’s something else.
          And if the world fears her for it? Good.
          
          Because some heroes are born. Others are made.
          Hetty was never meant to be either.

          Big thanks to @bob-steve for inspiring this monster. Go read their book—it slaps.

What the Dead Leaves Behind is a gripping and twisted sequel to The Lies We Live By, following the unlikely and morally complex duo of Allie Devereux and Kaz Benowitz. This time, the antiheroes are facing a whole new set of challenges as monstrous forces come after them with a vengeance. The story dives deep into their flaws, making them both relatable and unpredictable, as they navigate a world filled with danger, deception, and self-preservation.
          
          In this dark supernatural thriller, Allie and Kaz are no longer just trying to survive; they’re also grappling with the consequences of their actions and the weight of their past decisions. Their relationship with power, morality, and the monsters—both literal and metaphorical—that stalk them keeps readers on edge.
          
          Fans of the first book will see Allie and Kaz push their boundaries even further, but what makes this story refreshing is that their journey is far from a typical hero's arc. They’re not out there fighting for justice or redemption. Instead, they’re trying to make it through alive, even if that means getting their hands dirty. Expect a lot of twists, internal conflict, and characters who defy typical YA norms.
          
          If you’re into flawed characters who make tough, often questionable decisions, intense supernatural action, and stories where the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear, What the Dead Leaves Behind will keep you hooked until the very last page.
