About this book

Salem has become the ultimate hunting ground, and for Shem and Gabe, the stakes have never been deadlier. They have tracked the elusive Hecate, the Mother of Witches, to her mortal sanctuary, reigniting a millennia-old grudge that spans back to the Tudor era. What began as a ruthless game of cat and mouse quickly descends into absolute chaos when a celestial figure from Shem’s past emerges, threatening to unravel the fragile bond he shares with Gabe.

This intense installment of the Murder and Mayhem series plunges readers into a dark paranormal romance where the line between salvation and damnation is razor-thin. As Shem battles the suffocating weight of his own history, Gabe must fight to anchor him, even as the darkness threatens to consume them both. With its twisty religious undertones and heavy focus on hurt-comfort dynamics, this story is a psychological rollercoaster that demands complete surrender.

Expect a visceral exploration of trauma, avoidant attachment, and complex desire set against a backdrop of hellish intrigue. This is a high-stakes, 18+ journey into a world of demons and angels that refuses to hold back. If you crave intense, taboo-laced narratives that test the limits of love and loyalty, prepare yourself for the descent.

I've never been far, baby. I've wanted you since the day we met. You just weren't ready for me yet

\"I wanted his mind and his heart. If he needed to play these games to make himself feel safe, I would play. And I would win.\" \"For one small, brief moment, Shem gave up control and allowed me to hold him while he fell apart, and I had never seen a more beautiful thing.\" \"Are you going to leave me? Never. I'll never leave you, baby.\" \"I felt my body submit to him in a way I never thought I would do for anyone. Letting him take control of me was a relief. Like I could finally rest. Like I...

Ok. Ok. Ok. Where can I get a couple of witchy best friends like Hecate, Luna and Willow!? 😅 Because those ladies were awesome! Now, let me just say, Hellcat was wild! So many emotions!! I was laughing, because Shem and Hecate are hilarious. I cried because dangit, Shem broke my heart. I swooned because Gabe is an absolute sweetheart. And then, there were times where I was like W. T. Actual. F!? Because when do you not say WTF while reading an Alexandra St Pierre book!? 😅 I had such a blast...

I just had my brain altered forever. Again

If able read a Krampus Christmas on Alex's website before diving in! This is the second book in the Murder & Mayhem duet, so if you haven’t read Deathtrap yet go do that first! You’ll thank me later as its where we first meet these lovable and frustrating dudes. This installment follows Shem and Gabe as they travel to Salem (yep, that Salem), on a quest to find Hecate, the mother of all witches and one of the most powerful, badass characters to ever exist. Everything starts off fun and chaotic,...

ALEXA: play Hallelujah by Underoath

ALEXA: play Hallelujah by Underoath 5/5⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Alexandra has this amazing talent of choosing songs and telling you to play them and the exact moment they should played while reading certain scenes. She’s honestly one of maybe 2 authors I’ve seen use music to coordinate with chapters so spectacularly and every time you are so fully immersed in the scene you get literal chills. Chapter 64 is the culmination of this. I felt every ounce of that scene in my bones and on such an epic scope I had...
