Her Name in Red

The legend is if you whisper her name in the dark, she’ll appear.

But Riggs Rhodes knows better. Because he was there the night she was made. One year ago, Riggs watched Maren Marino put a knife through her stepfather’s chest. The man everyone thought was a respected coach but he knew better. Riggs had his own reasons for wanting him dead. He never breathed a word of what he saw, and in return, he got his life back. His spot on the hockey team. His scholarship. His future.

Hers? It shattered. Now, they whisper her name in the halls, like she’s a ghost. A curse. A warning. Bloody Mary. Her once bright eyes are void of emotion, her once sharp tongue, silent. They say she was never the same after that night. They’re right.

Then Riggs sees Maren again. This isn’t the former cheer captain and campus darling. She’s not just different. She’s dangerous. He follows. And he watches as she leads a guy into a dark alley. And he watches as she kills him.

Riggs should be horrified. Instead, he’s turned on. Now, he can’t stay away. He doesn’t know if she’s a monster or if she only kills men who deserve it, but either way… He wants to be next.
