“Our lives are yours either way. Kill us or use us; just make it quick.”

The Killer of Port Wylde are back, and with Cruel Games, comes the story of the Neon Dogs.

Years after Ivy watches them murder her father, she plots and seeks revenge on the Neon Dogs. Stalking them and stealing their hits, she gets them alone. But when that pure hatred turns, will she able to seek justice or will she battle her feelings?

Ivy. A spitfire, a true epitome of feminine rage. The Neon Dogs. Coyote, Jackal and Dingo. I loved them since Cruel Lies, and was so excited that they got their own story.
walk them like a dog, sister


Cruel Games hit me so much harder than I thought it would. Such an emotional time, I fell in love with all of them. Their stories, their personalities, their lives. Their relationships with each other melded so well. 

I can't wait to dive more into the team at Port Wylde!
