… so pretty it hurts

When an (in)famous family vlogger and internet darling's tumultuous career ends with her going live while covered in blood, the public will dub her the #mommykiller, and her biggest fan will unravel the events leading to that fateful night, revealing the insidious side effects of growing up online and the obsessive and dangerous nature of fandom, all while proving her idol's innocence—or becoming a #headline of her own.

PRETTY KILLER GIRLS is a crossover/NA psychological horror that combines the queer obsession and satire of Saltburn with the fucked up, fame obsessed Mommy-daughter relationship in I’m Glad My Mom Died, and the rivals to lovers investigatory duo in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, but make everything worse.

Pitched as Gillian Flynn for Gen Z, this book is perfect for fans Tiffany D. Jackson, Cortney Summers, and Joelle Wellington.
