Pretty Evil (#1)

Forthcoming Fall 2024

To her fans, Mallori Martin is simply known as Mallori. She’s the ultimate teen star with the hottest show on tv, a platinum selling singing career, and an unsurpassed online following. Her name is everywhere: atop billboards, adorning the sides of busses, and she’s even the face of GLITZ energy drink with her picture on every can and vending machine. But behind the pink glitter and glam, Mallori is an unhappy teenager who just wants to be her own person and free from her mom/manager’s control.

One morning, Mallori wakes to discover her mother is missing. She calls the police but instead of finding her mom, they find several bodies buried in the basement of their Hollywood Hills mansion. As rumors fly about her mom being a serial killer who skipped town, legions of fans turn on Mallori (dubbing her #MalloriMurder). She sets out to escape the public eye, hoping to find her mom and get some answers. She quickly discovers her mom was living a double life as her manager and a demon slayer.

In an instant a world is revealed to her, a world where demons use fame, fear, and hate to attract Worshippers, a world where the most devout followers make human sacrifices in the names of these demons in exchange for great powers. Mallori realizes the only way she’ll see her mother again is to take up where her mom left off, slicing her way through demons in the most sparkly way possible.
