Beauty has a price. DARLING always collects.
Mina Tran came home to Brightbay to rebuild her life behind the manicure stations at Lucky Lantern Nails & Wash. Then a client downloads DARLING and asks to become the prettiest girl in the room.
By morning, strangers adore her. By night, mirrors are whispering the names of women no one remembers.
Mina Tran came home to Brightbay to rebuild her life behind the manicure stations at Lucky Lantern Nails & Wash. Then a client downloads DARLING and asks to become the prettiest girl in the room.
By morning, strangers adore her. By night, mirrors are whispering the names of women no one remembers.
When the app marks Mina as a witness, she develops Glitch-Sight-the ability to see what DARLING edits out. Every upgrade reveals another missing identity, another impossible rule, and another cost someone else was forced to pay. Detective Gabe Reyes wants evidence. Mina's aunties want her fed. DARLING wants a final review.
To stop a beauty wish from rewriting Brightbay, Mina must expose the woman who built a machine out of loneliness-and decide whether being seen is worth becoming impossible to forget.
A witty paranormal mystery featuring rule-based horror, a Vietnamese American heroine, chaotic found family, and a slow-burn romance that refuses to be optimized.
