Member Since
August 2023


Marcelina LoBue is the 16-year-old YA mystery romance author of The Blood that Divides Us (an academic rivals to lovers, trauma healing murder mystery) and Labeled Innocent, Presumed Dead (a true crime thriller with a love triangle). The latter releases on February 14th, 2026.
When she’s not listening to true crime podcasts or writing about stab wounds, she’s focused on her education and highly involved in her school’s student council. Baking and teaching herself how to code—much like Natalia—has also preoccupied her time, in addition to having a bad habit of staying up too late reading romances on her Kindle.

As a thriller author myself…this has my approval. I stayed up until 2am laughing, screaming, and widening my eyes. The twist definitely got me (I was thinking a whole different direction 90% of the book) and it was SO satisfying.

Polls

hi! been awhile since I've done a poll, but I just finished Labeled Innocent, Presumed Dead by the lovely Marcelina LoBue , and wanted to share it with all of you, in my normal fashion of shouting out indie books that I've read and enjoyed :)
This book was honestly so cozy and fun, and so fulfilling to read after seeing it's conception and ensuing creation on Marcelina's YouTube channel (@authormarcelinalobue, if you're curious). I was also so honored to recieve a free e-arc of this book; honestly the the most excited I've ever been for an ARC, and I was not disappointed. If possible, it'd be amazing if you'd check out the book! You can also take a peek at my review below if you want a bit more context (it's a bit chaotic, so don't expect much lol). Happy reading everyone <3

“And that is why you will be ruling the country,” I say simply, “while I’ll be fighting on the battlefield, distracting the enemy with my dashing good looks.” “Are you saying I couldn’t distract the enemy with my own dashing good looks?” Kitt asks through his deep laughter, feigning offense. “I’m saying that we are only half brothers, so I’m afraid that means you only have half my charms.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless
