About We Already Dug the Grave:

USA Today bestselling author Emma C Wells second novel is a Southern gothic thriller wickedly infused with a ‘good for her’ moral code about estranged sisters reunite to plot a M**der to save a life…again.
 
Sharp Objects meets Practical Magic, in this intimate, intoxicating psychological thriller about sisterhood where ride or die is literal. Wells weaves together magical family lore, the weight of secrets, diverging paths, and a past that won’t die into a propulsive novel.
 
“This is the kind of book readers love to devour: family secrets, people trying to escape their predetermined roles, and a good dash of the supernatural all blended together in a story that's ultimately about love and loyalty.” — Charlaine Harris #1 New York Times bestselling author of The True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse series

About Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die:

One isolated cabin. One cheating boyfriend. One plan to get even.

When Nora, Ruby, and Cham discover that they've all been dating the same man, the women hatch a plot for revenge: together, they will lure their unfaithful boyfriend to a romantic getaway in a secluded cabin at the top of a snow-covered mountain. What was meant to be harmless payback, however, soon takes a chilling turn when their boyfriend is found dead.

Stranded and snowed in, the women begin to look at each other with increasing suspicion. And as tensions rise, hidden motives come to light. Is one of them a killer? Or is something else lurking in the freezing wilderness, waiting to pick them off one by one?

Of her sophomore novel, Mallory Arnold says: “Cham, Ruby and Nora are every bit as powerful, ruthless, brave, and human as I dreamed. But they’re also something I never imagined they’d be: understandable. Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die prays to tell the story so wild, so unbelievable, but also inevitably relatable. We all believe we know what kind of person we are, right up until the moment we don’t. And when that moment comes… I wonder, dear reader, what you would forgive yourself for?”

Part John Tucker Must Die-inspired revenge fantasy, part slasher thriller, and all wickedly fun entertainment, CROSS MY HEART, I HOPE YOU DIE is a one-sitting read that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the very last.
