Death Rydes Shotgun (coming soon)
by Raven Cross · October 15, 2026
You should never pick up a hitchhiker, especially on Halloween…
Every Halloween, someone disappears from Blackwood Highway.
This year, I intend to make sure it’s Harmony Grove.
She doesn’t remember me. That’s the beauty of becoming someone they never expected you to become. The awkward boy they mocked is long gone. Now, when Harmony looks at me, she sees a stranger—and she has no idea how badly I’ve wanted her to look.
She shouldn’t have picked me up that night.
She shouldn’t have let me into her car.
And she definitely shouldn’t have trusted the man sitting beside her while another body turns up along the highway.
But Harmony fascinates me.
She has secrets behind those beautiful eyes, and I intend to uncover every one of them before Halloween is over.
Because I’ve waited fifteen years for this night.
Fifteen years to come home.
Fifteen years to finish what started on that lonely stretch of highway.
And this time, when Harmony stops her car…
Death rydes shotgun.
For readers who love the Halloween setting of Fear Street and the isolated-road of Urban Legend, you'll scream for the horror romance of Death Rydes Shotgun.
Until launch!
