Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die



John Tucker Must Die meets The Final Girl Support Group in a biting slasher following four women who lure their cheating boyfriend to a remote mountain cabin, only to realize that darkness lurks within the very walls, waiting to pick them off one by one.

From the USA Today bestselling author of How to Survive a Horror Story comes a biting slasher perfect for fans of John Tucker Must Die and The Final Girl Support Group, following three women who lure their cheating boyfriend to a remote mountain cabin, only to realize that darkness lurks within the very walls, waiting to pick them off one by one.

One isolated cabin. One cheating boyfriend. One plan to get even.

When Nora, Ruby, and Cham discover that they've each been dating the same man, what starts as outrage quickly spirals into a plot for revenge. Together they hatch a plan to lure their boyfriend to a romantic getaway in a secluded cabin at the top of a snow-covered mountain.

Only what was meant to be harmless payback soon takes a chilling turn when their not-so-adoring boyfriend is found dead in the cabin.

Stranded and snowed in, the women begin to look at each other with increasing suspicion. And as tensions rise, hidden motives come to light. To survive, each woman must confront her own demons as they fight to uncover if one of them is the killer, or if something else lurks in the freezing wilderness, waiting to pick them off one by one.

About the author

Mallory Arnold

Mallory Arnold is a magazine editor and writer who lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband and three cats. When she’s not penning a scary story, she can be found curled up with a book, running, listening to podcasts, painting, eating pickles and Diet Coke (not together), or bopping her head to Southcourt’s music. This is Mallory’s debut novel, and she hopes to continue writing until the cows come home (though she wonders where the cows went in the first place). Feel free to follow her journey on Instagram—if you dare. @malwriteswords
