Genre: Horror Romance--Book 2
Ashe had two things going for her: finally admitting feelings for her best friend, and surviving the Senior Slayer once. Scratch that–twice.
Barely escaping with her life after a failed group trip to the cabin, Ashe must navigate life without her friends, family, and–most importantly–her secret love, Jason. Needing a fresh start, Ashe moves to the Windy City, leaving the books behind, and picking up her press pass as a crime journalist. But when bodies start to pile up and the evidence points toward the Slayer’s return, Ashe has to decide if she wants to continue running from her past to protect the future she built, or finally face the skeletons hiding in her closet. All the while fighting off the one person who refuses to let their love die.
Jason knows his life is completely fucked. After failing to seal the deal made with Graveslake’s infamous serial killer, he’s now stuck trying to save the only girl he’s ever loved before they both become victims to the Senior Slayer’s game. That is, if she’ll even talk to him. Dead set on winning over the final girl, Jason waits in the shadows for his moment. The only problem is he isn’t the only one still playing the game. And the game’s not over until the last person dies, regardless of who’s left standing.
Welcome back to the killing game.
The second book in the Final Girls Never Die Duet, The Killing Secret is a thrilling story filled with torturous slow burn, slasher movie vibes, and a secret that refuses to die.

About the Author
I grew up in a small town between Chicago and Milwaukee. From a young age, I was captivated by reading, music, and performing. The genres I gravitated towards included thrillers, horror, and the occasional romance book (hello, vampire obsession). When I reached college, I added 'write a book' to my life bucket list, inspired by the vibrant communities I found on Booksta and Booktok.
Now, that dream is becoming a reality! Currently, I have a Horror Romance (1 of 2), Thriller, and Contemporary Romance available. My best selling Horror Romance novel, The Killing Game, is a perfect place to get started. Since then, I’ve been immersed in projects that include paranormal romance, cosplay romance, and splatterpunk horror, all showcasing my journey as a queer author.
When I’m not reading or writing, I’m spending quality time with husband, eating delicious food, focusing on movement and meditation for body wellness,
or traveling for a new adventure.
