Where the Pretty Girls Go
A Novel of Obsession, Survival, and the Girls Who Were Never Meant to Be Found
In the neon-lit shadows of Tampa's underbelly, the pretty girls vanish. No one looks for them. No one asks why. No one thinks twice-except Jules.
Jules is a trans woman navigating survival in a world that sees her as disposable. Hardened by the streets but still carrying the fragile hope of connection, she crosses paths with a man whose secrets are buried deeper than the girls who came before her. Christopher is polished, respected, and beloved-a father, a husband, a surgeon. But when darkness scratches at the surface of his perfect life, what emerges is something far more terrifying than Jules could have imagined.
Told in lyrical, hypnotic prose that blurs the line between horror and heartbreak, Where the Pretty Girls Go is a psychological descent into the mind of a killer-and the unlikely bond that threatens to unravel his meticulously controlled world. As the story unfolds through dual perspectives and deeply immersive character studies, the reader is pulled into an emotional storm of obsession, power, identity, and the haunting fragility of redemption.
This novel is not just about monsters. It's about what happens when a woman who was never meant to survive refuses to disappear quietly.
Raw, provocative, and deeply human, Where the Pretty Girls Go is a literary thriller that gives voice to the invisible and a name to the fear no one wants to speak aloud. It's for the girls they forgot. The ones they never came to save.
