Doe

Thrilling crossover YA horror perfect for fans of Krystal Sutherland and Tiffany D. Jackson, where the captain of a high school cheer team is caught in a bitter rivalry and turns to an ancient supernatural creature for help—only to discover she may have made a deal with a devil that could cost her everything, including her life.

Maris Larsen is the captain of the West Eaton High cheer team. She’s Coach’s favorite, and the team worships her. Being on the mat makes her feel powerful—special. When she’s leading, she doesn’t have to think about her dead-end life, her depressed mother, her absent father, or her girlfriend who doesn’t really love her.

But when newcomer Genevieve Ray joins the team and becomes Coach’s new golden girl, Maris’s world begins to crack. A bitter rivalry forms, and Maris is determined to take Genevieve down. The knife she needs comes to her in her dreams.

While sleepwalking, Maris is visited by a monstrous, decaying deer-like creature. Doe is an ancient being trapped in an unnatural form, unable to die or continue living as she is. She can only be freed by a girl tied by blood to those who bound her—but those girls were murdered years ago in a fire.

Maris is somehow connected to Doe’s past. In dreams, they form a bond, and Doe offers her a way to win against Genevieve. But Maris doesn’t realize the creature is real—or the price of victory.

To win, someone must die. And in the end, the only real winner may be Doe.
