Hours of Darkness: Book One in the 'Hours' Trilogy

Some betrayals cut too deep. Some darkness never fades.

Seventeen-year-old Lauren Daniels never wanted to stand out. But when financial hardship forces her to leave her small private school for the elite halls of Reddington High, she’s thrown into a world where money rules, secrets fester, and popularity comes with a price. At first, the popular girls welcome her with open arms, but their world is unpredictable, and their friendship is hollow. Lauren soon learns the truth: in Reddington, friendship is a game and losing means destruction.

A cruel betrayal shatters her world, leaving her drowning in trauma, lies, and manipulation. The only person she has left is her mother—her last tether to the girl she used to be.

But Lauren is done playing by their rules. She’s not just going to survive. She’s going to overcome.

A gripping psychological thriller packed with drama, chilling suspense, and the twisted ties of betrayal and revenge, Hours of Darkness is a haunting tale of power, deception, and the darkness we all carry inside.

Perfect for fans of thrilling, gripping storylines that make you emotional and keep you on edge as the unputdownable psychological suspense and fierce female protagonists pull you into the story.
