Expected 22 Apr 26**Make It Stop is the second book in the West Pine Bullies Duet. The follow contains spoilers for Make it Hurt**
"I don't mind if I scare you, Saige. I scare myself sometimes. Just know that as long as you're mine, you don't have to be afraid of anything else. And you're always going to be mine."
My name is Saige Ripley, and no one knows I’m a murderer—no one except for my stepbrother, Elias, and his friends, Dax and Nolan.
I should have said "no" when they offered to help me, but I didn’t. Instead, I agreed to do whatever they wanted, thinking it had to be better than going to prison.
I’m not so sure anymore.
What I agreed to was a different kind of prison, and to make things worse, no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I fell for them, and it ended exactly the way I thought it would.
They betrayed me. But they won’t let me go.
And on top of it all, the person who attacked me is still out there, and I don’t know what to believe anymore. I don’t know who to trust.
Not all monsters lurk in the darkness. Some hide in plain sight.

About the author
Elle Mitchell
12 books610 followersKnown as the (mostly benevolent) Queen of Angst, Elle Mitchell writes new adult contemporary romance ranging from shades of grey to morally pitch black with a hint of taboo. A mix of plot and spice, her books follow flawed, relatable characters as they rage against the machine or struggle against the darker parts of humanity and themselves. They’re messy—like real life—and emotional.
She can’t promise that all her books will depict what a healthy relationship should look like at every turn. She rejects purity themes. The best she can do is promise an eventual HEA when it’s all said and done.
When she isn’t reading or writing, it’s unlikely you’ll find her anywhere. She’s probably at home with her family, minding her own business.
