Ayo, Muse, here's one for you:
BEST INDIE BOOK AWARD(R) WINNER - A colorful and chaotic tale of success and betrayal... that will likely have readers nodding their heads as they read -Kirkus Reviews (featured review) - ...features Moreno's signature style of crafting powerful and engaging stories -Script Magazine
A fierce, genre-bending survival guide for creatives chasing the dream-and the demons that come with it.
Killa is a suspense-filled, hip-hop remix of Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera, told in the style of an epic rap.
For 23-year-old Melody Méndez, life is a verse trapped in a loop. Between mourning her abuelita and supporting her ailing mom, she's grinding through double shifts at a dead-end hotel in Central Florida. Her hopes, woven with rhythm and rhyme, are fading-until word of a rap battle hosted by her idol, King Heavy, ripple through her socials.
Seizing the chance, Mel races to Miami, where the contest unfolds at the infamous nightclub Valdemar-a condemned Art Deco theater with a haunted rep. As she steps onto the stage, Mel doesn't just face her rivals-she confronts a spectral presence.
And the spotlight she craves pulls her deeper into the shadows.
Will Mel find her voice without losing herself-or will her neon-lit odyssey become a cautionary tale whispered in the dark?
It's as if John Carpenter wrote The Odyssey while blasting hip-hop.
A genre-bending descent into fear and flow. ★★★★★
Moreno's use of vivid imagery and descriptive language makes it feel like a movie (with the best soundtrack)... ★★★★★
...a masterpiece with a Miami streets hip-hop poetic twist on a classic... ★★★★★
It doesn't take long for your eyes to begin dancing along to the words. ★★★★★
...echoes of classics... ...a wizened heft that belies its modern references.-Kirkus Reviews
