Horror queen Danielle Vega finally reveals the sinister mystery of how a teen girl named Brooklyn became the epitome of evil in this terrifying prequel to the series MTV calls "Mean Girls meets The Exorcist." 
 
Brooklyn knows that there’s no good without evil, no right without wrong. And when a helpless girl calls her teen helpline, whispering that someone is hurting her, Brooklyn knows that she needs to save her anonymous caller, even if it means doing something bad.
 
Her parents and friends assure her the call was probably a prank—but Brooklyn has always had a tendency to take over, whether someone has asked for help or not. 
 
She discovers the call came from Christ First Church and finds herself plunged into the cultish community of its youth group. She's especially drawn to Gavin, the angelic yet tortured pastor's son.
 
Torn between an unstoppable attraction to Gavin and her obsession with the truth, Brooklyn is forced to make a devastating choice to rid Christ Church of evil once and for all. . . . But the devil has plans for Brooklyn’s soul.

Praise for The Merciless III

Praise for The Merciless:
"[The Merciless] is chilling--think Mean Girls meets The Exorcist. . . a fast-paced thrill-ride."
--MTV.com

"Pretty Little Liars fans, get a sneak peek at your new favorite book The Merciless . . . a nail biting thriller."
--Seventeen Magazine

"This pulse-pounding, debut novel creates a wickedly creepy atmosphere where mean girls quickly turn homicidal."
--School Library Journal

"Page-to-page Stephen King-style terror builds, asking the question, 'How much evil is inside every one of us?' Readers will gasp out loud more than a few times, so beware."
--Booklist

Praise for The Merciless II:
"With strong, well-developed supporting characters . . . this pulse-pounding follow-up to Vega's Merciless . . . is a terrifying delight of a read. Hard to put down, this scary novel is a must-read for teenage fans of fright."
--School Library Journal

"Gripping, intense horror for teens with strong stomachs."
--Booklist

"Turning to a classic Stephen King-style horror plot that relies on an isolated setting as much as bloodied bodies and hellishly inventive violence, Vega's grisly second installment rips into biblical platitudes to lay bare the notions of deliverance and redemption."
--Kirkus Reviews
