Shadow Cursed: Layla And Her Pretty Monsters
Layla
My mother’s dying words were simple: Stay hidden, stay quiet, and never let them see what you can do.
So I have spent my whole life running from monsters and my cursed reality, moving from one dive town to the next, hiding a curse that could alter everything I know about my heritage.
But I’m tired of running.
When I land in a town that is home to freaks like me, I think I’ve finally found a place to disappear. Instead, I find them: Dorian, Elias, Kier and Lucien.
A protector with a god complex, an Immortal who thinks he’s the smartest predator in the room, a tortured werewolf with a dark past, and a psychopathic vampire buried underground.
They’re the Pretty Monsters who run this town, and they don’t like newcomers, especially one who was the craziest type of freak they have ever seen.
They think they can break me. They think I’m just another human girl to be toyed with and stepped on.
What they don’t know is that the darkness in me recognizes the darkness in them. They aren't the apex predators.
They’re just the guardians of a throne that’s been empty for too long.
While others think the Boogeyman is just a myth. A story parents tell their children to keep them in bed. But myths have daughters. And I’m coming for my crown.
One girl. Four monsters. And a nightmare that’s only just beginning.
