Jessica Jude
Jessica Jude writes emotionally-charged kissing (among other things) books about royals and the elite. Her aim in all of her stories is to make you fall in love with the characters and use up box after box of tissues. Her characters are strong and independent, who make plenty of morally gray decisions. She likes her women fierce and her men possessive.
Her favorite scenes to write are arguments. She's been known to stir up drama in her own life when she gets bored, and her family is glad she has an outlet for her occasional Blair-Waldorfism. She lives in a big old house in the midwestern United States with her high-school sweetheart. She has dreamed of being an author since she was six and wrote her first book about a girl named Mary who got

1 Star - DNF'd the book
2 Star - The author took time to write & publish the book but it was missing something. The grammar was bad. The editing was bad. It wasn't worth finishing but I finished. Would not recommend.
3 Star - It was meh. It was just okay. It wasn't terrible but wasn't worth recommending.
4 Star - Worth recommending but will probably forget about it after a few days.
5 Star - Roman Empire. Plays like a movie in my head and will never forget. This is the type of book I will promote all over social media.

An indie Canadian author known for dark romantic thrillers infused with psychological suspense, every line, every silence, and every twist in De LaRue’s work is deliberate, crafted to pull readers deeper into a world where love is dangerous, truth is fractured, and nothing is ever what it seems.
The breakout series, The Whispers of a Lie, stands as a masterpiece in psychological thrillers and mysteries. It is an emotional labyrinth where trauma, desire, and betrayal collide. With each page, De LaRue dares readers to question what they know until they are left breathless, uncertain of what they have just experienced.
Every detail is a trap. Every emotion, a thread.
