REBECCA x THE PERFECT COUPLE
She's always tried to do the 'right thing' but when a death becomes a suspected murder, a PR exec must decide how far she'll go to protect the people she loves. They all have a motive. Esp. the dead woman's husband. The man she's in love with.

They loved hard, broke harder when she ran from the crown, and spent a year pretending it didn’t matter. Now the pleasure mage she abandoned and his best friend are back as she's hunted by a ruthless regime. Between love, lust, and vengeance, Viv learns freedom always costs blood.

All Viv wants is to live a quiet life topping underground fight pits and beautiful women 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

But a fascist regime rips apart her home and murders her mentor in their hunt for her magic.

They won't let her have peace? Fine. She'll wield the power they'd burn the world to erase.🗡🔮

BLUE SISTERS X THE PUSH X DORIAN GRAY
Gracie Green, selfish & reckless, pledges her soul to the Devil in exchange for eternal youth & beauty, but the Devil plays tricks & sucks Gracie into a spiral of destruction threatening her lovers & the life of her perfect sister Faith.
#DVPit #A #LGBTQ #DIS

Nine images in tones of blue and green depicting a woman in a white dress on a Catwalk, a pier, a woman's face being injected, a ring of spooky trees and two arms reaching for one another. One pale, the other devil like.

It's one of my favourite ones for surprise/astonishment. Probably because I identify with it more often than not.🤪😅

THE VIBES
Top central photo of a woman's hand picking up a mobile phone with an image below of a Whatsapp message saying in capital letters 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID'. Below this is a partial photo of a limp hand in water. Various photos surround this. - the Acropolis at night; a woman's hand cradling the back of a man's head in an embrace; a woman in a red dress descending a staircase; a villa with a swimming pool at night; silhouette of a couple embracing; a partial photo of a woman with lank wet hair hanging over her face; a man in white shirtsleeves looking pensive; a couple hugging; a woman in a black dress on a staircase looking over her shoulder. Photo of a woman crying on a man's shoulder; a couple kissing, another embracing; a man and woman's clasped hands; the silhouette of a man in a long coat walking away. The last photo is of a tearful woman, her head tilted up.

The dead woman knew secrets; people hated her. Everyone has a motive, esp those Listy loves. She’s always tried to do the right thing but some secrets are best left buried, aren't they? So why do they start coming out at a summer party?🍾🥂
