A town with missing memories.
A snowstorm that never happened.
A dark figure playing a fatal game behind the scenes.

And a dead girl walking with the answers. The only problem? She doesn't remember them & she has 30 days to figure it out before she dies again.

When Larkin discovers she’s pregnant after a very out-of-character one-night stand with a man who turns out to be the Greek god Apollo, she must face monsters, vengeful gods, & most terrifyingly, her feelings for Apollo to protect herself & her unborn child.

OLYMPUS PREP: APHRODITE blends the mythological reimagining of GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN with the adolescent drama of JENNY HAN’s novels and the contemporary humor of SEX EDUCATION. Readers who enjoyed the PERCY JACKSON series as pre-teens will love Olympus Prep.

🩸SHE IS A HAUNTING + THE HONEYS🐝

When 18-year-old podcaster Max infiltrates a tradwife cult in rural Utah to save her sister, she expects to fight barefoot farm girls with ring lights…

Instead, she comes face-to-face with an ancient god that eats women.

Max can’t stand her sister, but she’ll still infiltrate a tradwife cult to drag her stubborn ass home.

Except the cult isn’t run by influencers…but by a hungry Neolithic horror.

👯BUNNY + JULIE CHAN IS DEAD🪦

Max swore she was done with her sister. But when she joins a tradwife cult, Max has to go and drag her stubborn ass home.

One problem though: the women of the cult aren’t ordinary influencers…they’re devotees of an ancient horror.
