Danika Dizon is a natural problem-solver. Thanks to her private investigator mom and mystery author dad, she’s equipped with the skills to offer guidance to anxious classmates who come to her for a tarot reading between classes. For a price, of course.
But when one of her clients vanishes shortly after they’re dealt a death card, the girl’s younger sister Gaby begs Danika to figure out what went wrong. Danika takes on the case, thinking it’s the perfect way to prove to her parents that she should be an official investigator in the family’s detective agency.
What starts off as a compelling challenge quickly devolves into something darker as Danika and Gaby peel back layer after layer of the secret life the missing girl has been living. A life that those involved would do anything to keep from being revealed…

Genre: YA Horror
Publishing date: June 10, 2025
Synopsis:
A working-class French girl would kill to become assistant to Paris’s top modiste, but she must first seek vengeance against those responsible for the death of her family, in this thrilling historical horror from New York Times bestselling author Erica Ridley!
Eighteen-year-old Angélique dreams of designing extravagant gowns like the ladies in the bourgeoise wear to balls and soirées. Because she’s working-class, Angélique knows that her life will, instead, be spent dyeing silk for a living. That is, until her parents and younger sibling are killed in the sweatshop where they’ve toiled. Now orphaned, and with another sister to protect, Angélique vows vengeance against the factory owner growing richer by treating his employees as disposable.
To improve her station, Angélique takes a position as a junior seamstress for Paris’s top modiste. Though she’s bullied for being poor and her meager salary isn’t enough to pay rent, she refuses to give in. Her sister and crush, a handsome, immigrant shoemaker, won’t allow it. Then the modiste proposes a contest to win the well-paid, coveted assistant position. Angélique would do anything to earn the career of her dreams. What’s a little arsenic between girls after all?
As Angélique outshines–and outlives–the competition, she also wields her newfound privilege and power to exact revenge on those who ruined her family and blossoms into a new Paris’s greatest protégée.
Content Warning: child labour (sweatshops), death of a parent, bullying
