BLURB
The seals have been revealed and God’s judgments on the earth is in. The Clave is here to deliver the
news.
ABIGAIL
LA wasn’t home… just home for now.
Transplanted here to model I learned Hollywood isn’t where dreams survive the harsh reality of
millions all sharing that same dream.
Executive assistant is who I am now.
Slave.
Hollywood’s darling took a liking to me. One not easily ignored when they give you a taste of the
high life.
I was supposed to give up hope and give in to LA’s bad reputation but I had rules.
Well, just one: read the rules before you break them.
Unwilling to abandon all my morals, the filter came off my life to see the world I was one foot in was
invitation only…
GRIMM
I’m not sure I was ever really Jason.
Whoever he was, was a distant memory now.
Grimm is who I am now.
Death.
I abandoned my birth name, companionship, happiness that wasn’t shaped like Xanax all because I
was expected to be the kind of elite that pulls the strings.
Pull the strings but follow the rules.
No distractions.
No serious relationships.
Keep what we do secret.
Born into a rite I didn’t ask for, a society of puppeteers.
An invitation I marked not attending…

EXCERPT
We were all related to monsters.
All heir to corrupt kingdoms.
Forced to uphold some delusion that we are doing God’s will by ridding the world of the bad
people when we should be included in that kind of purge.
“It’s down to the right. There’s a bunker. That’s where they keep the sacrifices,” I was finally
tired of wondering around when I knew exactly where to go.
I found them by mistake one year when I was ten, back when inviting your whole family was
more common. They expected everyone to be present even if you weren’t weilding a musket and
shooting real people down.
The four of us used to play hide and seek on the grounds just to keep ourselves entertained.
I always had the best hiding places, this was our vacation home when it wasn’t being used for some
ceremony the Clave hosted.
I was ten years old when I found people in cages in the bunker we were told to stay away
from. They were all dugged, out of it like they were dreaming with their eyes open. I envied them.
Dreaming with your eyes wide open seemed like the perfect antidote to life, too bad that kind of
safety only came before you died.
It wasn’t until my first attendance I realized these people weren’t lucky at all. They were
bait, aggression running wild, enemies of the Clave that we hunted for sport.
None of them were going to survive – the least we could do was let them dream with their
eyes wide open.

AUTHOR BIO
Elena Monroe grew up in Florida scribbling down stories from a very young age. These stories were
really just wavy lines filling the paper, but she knew each word, each emotion, each character's
name, and there was no tricking her into forgetting what each line signified. Just like her
unconventional way of writing as a toddler Elena is setting her own rules and just telling stories.
Much like her debut novel, The Best Years, life certainly imitated art. Transplanting from the South
to the East Coast, Elena currently lives in Connecticut with husband, reformed bad boy.

Poe Halliday was an accident. A chance meeting that changed my life forever.

My mother didn’t have secrets; her secrets had her. After she disappeared, I had nothing.
Or so I thought.

When the invitation arrived, the opportunity to learn about my mother’s past was too great to pass up. Heading west to meet an aunt I had never heard of, I knew I was taking a risk, but I craved answers. Instead, I ended up with more questions, and now the dark history of this town threatens to tear me apart.

It’s all about him.

I knew this was a mistake.

Stella Bradleigh was a distraction. Something to play with when my shadows got too dark.

I spent my entire existence forced to live a life I didn’t want. There was only one way out.
Or so I thought.

When she arrived, none of us had any idea what it meant. Meeting the beautiful stranger with the mysterious past, I thought she would be a good time, and then I could just throw her away like all the others. Instead, she consumed me, and now she’s made me question everything I know to be real in my life.

It’s all about her.

I knew I was a mistake.

Sometimes what seems most fragile can’t be broken.

★ Folkestone Sins is a series of interconnected duets.  Fragile Things is the first book in Stella and Poe’s duet, and the first book in the series. This is a dark, mature high school/new adult romance. It contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, language that may be offensive, and scenes of a sexual nature (all consensual).  Recommended for 18+ only

ALSO COMING SOON IN THE FOLKESTONE SINS SERIES

My guy means the world to me, and so does my cat, sometimes even in that order. My Mum is my hero and the coolest person I know, hands down. My achievements include being a Queen of Innuendo, kicking serious ass at Name That Tune, and managing to fall down the same set of stairs three times in the same day.
