My Lips, Her Voice

L. L. Madrid

Copper City's bloody history is steeped in ghost stories and whispers of serial killers, but three girls have caught the attention of something far more sinister.

A grandmother tormented by visions tried to warn the town, but no one listened. Now, a haunted inheritance has passed to her granddaughters, Audrey and Mara. When Mara's body is discovered in the old mine, Audrey fears her grandmother's premonition is manifesting.

The nightmare begins as Mara's spirit returns-lurking under Audrey's skin, hellbent on vengeance and desperate to rekindle things with her former girlfriend, Zadie. Willing to hijack Audrey's body to get what she wants, Mara drags them both into a deadly pursuit.

When another girl in town goes missing, Audrey, Mara, and Zadie know the killer has struck again. In a fight to solve Mara's death and uncover the mystery of disappearances in Copper City, the girls soon find themselves at war with each other. How do you survive long enough to hunt a murderer on the loose if the person inside you might kill you first?

About the Author

Madrid, L. L.: - L. L. Madrid wasn't allowed to watch R-rated movies as a child. However, her library visits were unsupervised, so she spent her summers reading Anne Rice and Stephen King. Nowadays, she lives in Tucson with her family. When she's not pretending to be a mild-mannered office worker, she writes dark, moody stories about misfits. L.L. is the 2021 recipient of the Horror Writers Association's Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Scholarship. She is a proud member of the Bi+ Book Gang, a Pitch Wars alum, and is in Odyssey's class of 2024. Her short stories are scattered across the internet. My Lips, Her Voice is her debut novel.

Praise for this book

"A desert gothic that clings to you like sand, My Lips, Her Voice threads the raw intensity of Sadie through needles of cozy, creeping horror as sharp as cholla spines. Equal parts tender and pulse-pounding, L. L. Madrid's debut is a must-read for fans of multi-generational thrillers where spectral vengeance collides with feminist resilience. At its heart shimmers a queer love story that thirsts for justice--bold and forbidden as the ironwood tree guarding the town's bloodiest grave. A grim reminder: some roots grow twisted in the dark." --River K. Scott, author of Dying Ember, Olden Ash
