Natural Selection

OUT NOW!

Three girls bond in unsettling ways when a grizzly starts picking off known abusers in their secluded mountain town in this darkly funny, deeply feminist novel for fans of books like The Honeys and Wilder Girls.

The girls of Riverside are raised to grin and bear it. Until three of them can’t anymore.

Megan Lawless (aka Outlaw): Riverside born and raised. Lettered in volleyball, basketball, and track. HATES Kevin Johnson, but tolerates him for her best friend, Megan.

Megan Deloria: Outlaw’s ride or die. Riverside royalty and soon to be valedictorian. Shoo-in for the homecoming crown alongside her boyfriend, Kevin.

Meghan Bach (aka Bee): Moved to Riverside last year. Still the “new girl.” Pulls tarot cards daily. Just wants to forget what happened last summer at that party with Kevin.

And then there’s Kevin Johnson: Riverside’s Golden Boy. Only scared of two things—the dark and bears. Soon, he’ll be scared of three more.

Because Megan, Megan, and Meghan are done with Kevin, and they’re about to teach everyone in their tiny rural town the new natural order: Predator, meet prey.

Cruel Instincts

“A darkly twisty delight of a book...addictive and toxic in turn." 

— C. G. Drews, New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Let the Forest In

A grieving teen uncovers her family’s twisted secrets when she’s drawn into the orbit of a charismatic and privileged clique—Cruel Intentions meets The Birds in this daring speculative thriller from the author of Natural Selection.

A family of privilege and secrets.
A mountain estate filled with ghosts.

A grieving daughter.
A Charmer who could save her.
A Mystic who can’t help but challenge her. 
And a deck of cards that could seal all their fates. 

This summer we’re going to play a game:
Try not to burn it all down.
