My Thriller Novel Out Now!
It's romantic, it's unexpected, and it comes out today! Serial Killer Wanted is my debut under pen name Nika Grace because it is a dark, oddball little love story that demanded an author brand all its own. What's it like, you might ask?
It's Killing Eve but with more romance. It's Butcher and Blackbird, but without the screwball comedy about killing. It's Dexter, but with more hope and with the ladies running the show. Think you've read something like it? Think again.
This book won three contests before it even got published. Went through two agents, 14 drafts, more than one genre... If you love a good "How I Got My Book Deal" story, you can read the whole rollercoaster ride HERE.
You need to kill and I need to die. Let's talk.
Dexter meets Killing Eve in this sapphic psychological suspense when a woman contemplating suicide posts an online ad for a serial killer.
Being a killer comes easy to Dani. So easy it’s getting boring, in fact. But this girl isn’t taking orders from anybody, not even fate. If she’s going to keep up with the stab-and-shovel work, she’s going to create her own code for who deserves a medal or a bullet. When she happens across a Help Wanted ad that would allow her to do just that…she’s intrigued.
Jeika wants to die. Preferably, before the cops who are on her tail find the evidence to prove what she did. Except the only one who can help her do that is also the one who’s starting to make her life interesting again.
The last thing Dani expects is to fall for her next victim through the secret emails they share. But before they can decide if their new love is enough to change their very opposite fates, a twisted vigilante starts stalking them both.
They may not be ready to fight for themselves, but how far will they go to save each other?
With heart-pounding twists and deadpan snark, Serial Killer Wanted is a breathless binge-read for fans of They Never Learn and Butcher and Blackbird.

“Nika Grace cleverly toys with genre conventions as the novel morphs from a mystery to a thriller to a tale of sapphic self-discovery. It’s a dark delight.” - Publisher’s Weekly
“A brilliantly written dark and witty thriller with an emotional gut punch at its core.” —Katherine Greene, author of THE LAKE OF LOST GIRLS
