  Summary

  Rumi is a girl stitched together with secrets.
  Between stages and slayings, she’s perfected the art of pretending—smiling for fans, bleeding in silence, chasing a redemption that always stays just out of reach. The world wants her golden and clean. But under the lights, all she feels is cursed.

  When the youngest member of her group, Zoey, invites her to something as simple as a bathhouse hangout, Rumi finds herself torn between duty and desire between the monster she thinks she is, and the girl she desperately wants to be.
