Gods of Tomorrow #1
Pretty Poisoned
Teagan Townsend has never really fit in and gave up trying a long time ago. A college dropout obsessed with horror, true crime, and the occult, Teagan prefers books to people, her hookups casual, and her friendships nonexistent.
Lately, her focus has been on jumpstarting her true crime podcast…which brings her to her latest obsession.
Led by brothers Declan and Luca De Rossi, Gods of Tomorrow is an emerging rock band known for haunting lyrics, an extreme, overzealous fanbase, and their literal appetite for blood.
Chaos and violence follow the band wherever they go—whether it’s from their fanbase or people in their own circle. But no matter how many girls go missing or die under mysterious circumstances, everyone looks the other way.
When Teagan gets a backstage pass to their show, she’s determined to find out what’s going on and expose them. Except…the closer she gets, the harder it is to see them for what they really are.
Dangerous. Manipulative. Killers.
Seduced by the rock and roll underworld—by sex, drugs, and violence, by living free of consequences—will Teagan escape the spell she’s under before it ruins her?
Or will they wake something inside of her that she can’t put back to sleep?
If you are not comfortable with blood, you will not enjoy this book.

Elle Mitchell
12 books753 followersKnown as the (mostly benevolent) Queen of Angst, Elle Mitchell writes new adult contemporary romance ranging from shades of grey to morally pitch black with a hint of taboo. A mix of plot and spice, her books follow flawed, relatable characters as they rage against the machine or struggle against the darker parts of humanity and themselves. They’re messy—like real life—and emotional.

When she isn’t reading or writing, it’s unlikely you’ll find her anywhere. She’s probably at home with her family, minding her own business.

5/5 ⭐️
5/5 🌶️
5/5 plot
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Tropes + what to expect:
- Found family
- Rockstar romance
- Cult
- Why choose/poly relationship(s) with MFM, FF + FFM scenes
- Murder mystery
- Blood play
- Knife play
- Dubcon/noncon
- Who hurt you?
- Touch him/her and you die
- He falls first
- Spanking
- Marking
- Breath play
I couldn't put this down. This book is one of the best, if not the best book I have read this year. The plot was INSANE. Like, I had so many adrenaline rushes while reading this.
I loved every single character. At some points, I hated them, but as I got to know them more I feel like I was slowly becoming part of the crazy, fucked up family they formed.
I really don't want to give away the plot, I suggest reading the synopsis and then going in blind.. BUT make sure you check your triggers because this one was A WILD RIDE.
Please for the love of 2 hot, bloody rockstars, give us book 2 ASAP.

Be warned this is fucking DARK 😅 and explicitly spicyyyy
This is a dark rockstar, why choose romance MFM/FFM the lot(if you love why choose you should definitely read this)
Teagan has a dark past and is obsessed with true crime. She believes the rock band gods of tomorrow to be responsible for the deaths of girls who go on tour with them, so she gets herself a backstage pass and integrates into their ‘family’ to find out what’s going. She finds herself caught between two of the brothers, one who’s unhinged, and one who’s very reserved but definitely keeping secrets.
Once she’s in, she realises the depth of what this ‘family’ are in to and how dark their lives are
This does involve a secret society/cult storyline and a hell of a lot of blood and knife play (the craziest I’ve read😅) so if you’re not into that this won’t be for you, because them being rockstars isn’t what drives the story, it’s this storyline instead 👀

4.5✨ I was looking at my bookshelves and thought to myself, I want something incredibly dark, unhinged, and fucked up. So I pulled this one off the shelf, and it delivered in the best way possible. This book is dark, cult-y, and SPICY. And I’m telling you right the fuck now, if blood play is not your thing, I’m gonna need you to take this off your TBR, okay? Because this entire story the plot and the spice revolves around blood. And these characters are humans. They are not vampires. I just wanted to make that incredibly clear.🤣
This almost read like erotic horror to me. There’s murder, gore, and all kinds of crazy fucking shit going on. These men aren’t just rock stars in a band there’s also an underlying cult they’re a part of. We didn’t get a ton of that in book one, but I’m thinking we’ll get more in book two because this shit is INSANE.
I feel like the spice deserves its own paragraph because this is hands-down one of the hottest books I’ve ever read. Yes, this is a why choose with brothers, which is actually one of my favorite things (fun fact). It follows a group of people touring with a rock band, and when I tell you everyone is fucking horny and everyone is fucking each other… I mean it. Normally, I like my main characters to only have eyes for each other, but this just worked. Maybe it was the setting, maybe it was the way it was written, but I was here for all of it. It didn’t matter who it was, I was feral. 🥵
These people were fucking, cutting each other up, and drinking each other’s blood for basically this entire damn book. The spice comes in hot and heavy, and baby, it does not leaveeeeeeee. Ugh. It was SO hot.
Of course I fell in love with these two crazy brothers. Luca actually stole my heart first, but I will say Declan is much more my type. The dark, broody, dominant one who calls the shots but also has an extreme soft spot. Meanwhile, Luca is the perfect balance of golden retriever and completely unhinged. They balance each other out perfectly, and honestly, this is my ideal dynamic when it comes to a why choose.
This book was pure entertainment. I genuinely could not put it down. I was hooked, locked the fuck in, and fully invested. I couldn’t wait to see how everything played out, and then we got to the ending and it absolutely knocked me on my ass. I was literally screaming into my pillow. How the fuck did things get so messy? How did everything blow up in their faces this badly? And more importantly… how are we coming back from this?! These people are FUCKED UPPP and I wouldn’t have it any other way because it makes for such an intense and exciting read. They’re not always gonna make the best choices, they’re actually gonna make really fucking bad ones and cause choas and I’m here for it. 🤣
But I am so unbelievably stressed the fuck outtttt.
I honestly don’t know where this series is going, but I need everyone to get their shit together and circle back immediately because y’all are giving me gray hair.
This book has everything I love in a dark read. It’s stabby, unhinged as fuck, DRIPPING IN SMUT, and pushes your boundaries in ways that can make you uncomfortable. At least it did for me, because some things get taken really fucking far. But those are my favorite kinds of reading experiences. When I’m reading something dark, I want to feel it, and I sure as fuck felt it in this one.
I loved this book so much, and now I’m desperately hoping book two gives me the satisfaction that I so desperately need.

This was an interesting listen! I was intrigued by the whole rockstar and true-crime mystery premise, and I was curious about Teagan and what was really going on with the band. There’s a LOT of spice in this one, including blood play, and while I have no issues with any of that, I personally would have liked a little more plot to balance it out. The story definitely leans more toward the smut, but that cliffhanger has me curious to see where things go next.
The audiobook was fantastic! Autumn Mercer, Ash Beverly, and Ryan Stone all did a great job, but Autumn really stood out to me. Her voice was perfect for Teagan, and I absolutely loved her performance. She brought so much to the character, and I think her narration made the listening experience even better.
I recommend this for readers who enjoy dark rockstar romance, poly relationships, lots of spice, and a little mystery mixed in.

2.5⭐️
Eh ……..
This is the perfect example of the style of why choose I don’t like it…….
I was interested enough in the plot to finish but I am not interested enough to read book 2 ……
I like the secret society aspect, I like the brand of psycho Luca is and I like the brand of criminal Declan is, BUT HEAR ME OUT ….. I hated everything else.
I didn’t like Teagan because she was smart turned to dumb bitch ! I didn’t like how mean and fucking everyone Declan is. I don’t like how Luca was also putting his dick in everyone ! I don’t like they all are fucking everyone and drink each other’s blood. I don’t like how Rhett was dating Brady but cheating on him every night with a different groupie and still Brady accepted because he was “coming back to him in the end” FUCK THAT! I don’t like how Eli was the one we see nothing besides orgies and fucking a different girl every night also to then find out he is ACTUALLY married and a father of 2 little girls !?!? REALLY? Believe it or not the psycho Luca was the cutest one to me and the only one I kinda like it !
The entire book is just them all partying, fucking, drinking blood and using drugs, nothing is explained and in the last 10% of the book there are some action. So after all the promises of love and never abandoning Teagan that Declan and Luca made throughout the entire book they do JUST that in the end, they leave her face down in the desert alone for the police to take her as they get into a plane and runaway WITHOUT HER!!!!! 😤😡🤬 it’s incredible because the same time it took them to run to the plane it would’ve taken her but Declan still told her to stay ! No matter what the other book will explain I still hated the betrayal. I am sure we will have an explanation for this in the next book but I just don’t need it . I gave it a chance and it wasn’t for me !!!!

This is probably one of the craziest and darkest stories I have read, but man it sticks in your brain! I couldn't put the book down, I just had to keep going. I do feel at points I was reading with one eye open, like I was watching a horror movie or something. I will strongly advise to read the TW that the author provides. I went in pretty much blind and whoo boy, I had a lot of surprises that made me question why I was enjoying this so much.
I can't really say much with out giving the plot away, but basically you have Teagan, a woman that has a true crime podcast and gets a heads up on some hanky stuff that a popular rock band could be involved with. Of course, the obvious course of action is to go undercover and try to become a clingy groupie and uncover whats really going on with this band. Her plan is a success and she is immediately brought into the fold, where two unhinged brothers, their band mates and a family of groupies make for one hell of a crazy bunch of characters. Even though these people are all completely bonkers, there does become a sense of found family for Teagan, probably because shes bonkers too. The brothers are of course hot as hell... Luca is your golden retriever and Declan is the asshole bully that balances the two out. River and Hazel are the two most sane of this sexy polyamorous group and adds a little levity to the story.
I think if you go in just expecting a bloody (literally) good time, that's what you will get. Book one ends on an insane cliffhanger, so if you get hooked on the story, be prepared to jump right into book two where the crazy gets even more crazy.

Do you know what's even better after reading this book? Reading it AGAIN. After I read this, I could not stop thinking about it. I am a big dark why choose a fan, and this one hit the spot! There is so much to unfold in these MCs that it's insane. I love every single book by this author because of her talent in writing raw characters that hit you deep in your core. She makes you feel like you are the characters while they figure out who they are and what they really want from life. Teagan's sass and crazy are chefs kiss 😍🤣 no spoilers🤐
While reading, I couldn't guess the ending, and that is what I LOVE in a book.
Plot: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Spice:🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Character development:🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
The perfect amount of all 3!
And the cliffhanger......🖕🏻 you will want to dive into the next book IMMEDIATELY if you want to sleep after finishing.
I do advise you to PLEASE read the content warning at the beginning of the book. It's dark AF. 💀⚠️

Update: I got the opportunity to reread this book through the audiobook and oh my god, this might be one of the best rereads of my life, it reminded me of how much I love this duet and it was so nice hearing the characters coming to life and I believe the narrators did an amazing job with this one 😍
All I have to say is that I’m not okay, this book messed me up good, I was doing a buddy read but wasn’t able to leave many comments because I was truly speechless in a good way, my emotions were all kind of confused and I realized I probably like the topics mentioned in this book a little too much, damn even I feel like a brainwashed fan 😅 I also have a new book boyfriend, how did the crazy Luca make me fall for him??? 🫠
The book was beautifully written and was literally playing out like a horror movie with similar vibes to midsommar but completely different storyline which I enjoyed quite a lot. It was beautifully tragic

No……just no. I enjoy dark romance. This is not dark romance-This was horrific! It’s honestly one of the worst books I have ever read. I am genuinely disturbed that there is even a second book.
Absolute Stolkholm syndrome with murder, suicide and (in my opinion) some of the sex scenes are more on the side of non consent with physical pain. I’m in shock at how many 5* this book received.

“I don't think I'm the kind of girl you can take home to meet your mom. I think I'm the kind you tie up in the basement." He smiles. "I'm okay with that. I don't have a mom, but I do have a basement."
Look, I have read this book on a day at the beach and I will tell you right now: that cold dip in the ocean was very welcome after reading this 🫠
This dark (bully) rockstar romance had me kicking my feet, gasp and cheer (haha oops) The characters are interesting and HOT. I love Teagan, the brothers, Riv and Haze the most. Pfew!🥵
The spice in this book is top notch and blood play? You got me there. I loved reading about it.
The plot in this book was really fun to read, the true crime/mystery kept it interesting!
This book ends on a cliffy and I feel severely edged by it. Was the ink of this book laced with 🩸?..
I NEED MORE!!
In this book you'll find:

I stick with my rating even for the audio. This book is a 6 ⭐️ all around, I forgot how unhinged this is and how much the ending left me absolutely gutted. Ugh, now I need the next book audio. 😂 the duet narration was done so well, listening to it gave me whole body chills more than you would think, certain parts felt like I was legit there with the characters.
6 ⭐️ I loved this.
I didn’t have a clue what was happening most of the time, it was a mystery and I ate it up. Went into this blind just knowing it was a rockstar why choose dark romance and damn it delivered that plus more. This was twisted in the best way, I loved every second of it. Heading into book two asap!

Too unhinged to give an actual rating I can’t believe i wasted a day and a half reading this utter bullshit and mind numbing nonsense i think i might be traumatised by this
August 4, 2025
This book was the worst fucking kind of rage bait I’ve ever seen.
It felt like a heavily romanticized Criminal Minds episode with a fucking cult. I will never, ever dive blindly into a book again. 😍 I feel like the reviews are literally paid, ’cause ain’t no fucking way someone loved this horror story masked as a romance.
Reasons I hated the main characters:
Teagan: She literally has such an insane and dumb personality, I couldn’t even begin. I’m so sure she’s an undiagnosed psychopath, because she represents the worst kind of people in real life — the ones who write fan letters to serial killers and want relationships with them. I hated her. I hated her lack of empathy and her dumb thoughts; she literally rage-baited me. 😀
Next one, Luca: An insane psychopath who abused women and held them hostage in a fucking forest because they didn’t love him.
No way I had to read about his fucked-up ass not being held accountable for 500 pages.
Last but not least, Brother Psycho Declan: He may also be insane and the cult leader, but at least he admitted he’s a psychopath.
It’s insane that this book not only physically and emotionally abuses women constantly — including the main female character, Teagan — AND THIS BOOK STILL GOT FANS BECAUSE THEY HIDE UNDER THE VEIL OF “DARK ROMANCE.” 😭😭😭 I’m so serious, I wish every single one of those 5-star reviewers help. 🙏 I hope you never get into a toxic-ass relationship like this. I’m so confused 😭 There will always be a certain kind of romanticizing when reading or watching a fictional love story, but seriously — you clearly saw there was no love in this book. They were just all mentally ill.
Even the side characters… all of them died because they believed they wouldn’t be next, after three dead bodies — and boom… they were. 😍
Worst part…the author:
I’ve read the trigger warnings beforehand, and the author claims that the characters are morally grey 😭
HONEY, THERE IS ZERO MORAL. ZEROOOO.
“My books are both plot and spice and center around flawed, relatable characters dealing with real-life issues.” – Author’s note.
I AM LITERALLY SCARED TO ASK WHAT WAS RELATABLE FOR PEOPLE WHILE READING. 🙏
I said it at the beginning and I’ll say it again:
THIS BOOK IS 10/10 RAGE BAIT — it’s 100% meant to make the reader angry.🤡

Well…this went on my “what the hell did I just read” and “worse than dark” shelves. Cause, what the hell?! This was so dark, and crazy, and I couldn’t put it down! May need a psyche evaluation, but I’m jumping into the next book, cause….what the hell?! How did I like this? My husband has called me fucking crazy many times, but I’m not gonna tell him I read this and liked it 😂😂😂 I need some answers now!

im trying to wrap my head around this.
Listen, theres no way these man are redeemable. I have so many questions! The ending was a mind f because what do you mean they did that to her? The love bombing and manipulation in this is insane. I gotta read book 2 to find out how this ends.

Second reread via ALC
Same unhinged storyline but with multicast duet narration. Liked it a lot, thanks to Blue Nose Audio. Solid audiobook. Im a little surprised at the pic of the narrators. Luca didnt sound like that in my head and I felt Teegan was more on the aggressive side with the narrator than previously read; but again, unhinged, down for the craziness.

4.5 ⭐️
Brace yourselves. This is a wild af ride. It’s complete chaos and you’ll be thinking, ‘what the actual fuck’ am I reading… basically the whole time. Trust the process.
Dark romance, rockstar, why choose- true why choose.. (nobody is off limits). DARK content, check your trigger warnings. Honestly, this would be a great spooky season read from the overall vibes it brings. An air of mystery, 🩸, secret society/culty vibes.
I’m moving onto book 2 of the duet because that ending was not what I predicted!

DNF @ 40%
I enjoy a good unhinged dark romance but this was way beyond unhinged for me, the cult vibes and CNC were just too next level to be enjoyable in any way. It’s definitely dark and twisted, if you are looking for something unlike any other dark romance, this has every trigger warning possible, it’s so unhinged it’s impressive but just wasn’t for me.

I have a new favorite Elle Mitchell book! Wow! Honestly this is one of my favorite reads this year! I loved how Elle brought the characters to literary life! The spice scenes in Pretty Poisoned were yummy! Delicious! This will be my favorite why choose/poly romance book to recommend! My favorite I have read thus far.
This is not just a smutty book! There is plot! I loved the true crime investigation aspect.
The found family is written so beautifully!
Brady and Rhett are a sweet couple, loved them. They teach you that no matter what, you know where your heart lays.
My favorite…River and Hazel. Their characters are the glue of group! IMO. They are the ones that keep everything sane. The true definition of true love.
On to the MMCs..
Luca…what can I say about Luca, he’s an unhinged sweetheart and a psychotic hopeless romantic. He is crazy but in the most delicious way. I mean come on who doesn’t love a good “I can fix him” romance
“Everyone has a drug of choice. Luca’s drug of choice…is love.”
Declan….Alpha-Ahole, the leader, mysterious, manipulator, and fictional love of my life! Haha! I am obsessed with the cold hearted, no feelings, wont love you with side of secretly deranged that is Declan.
“Finally being a good girl for me, Teagan. In every way that matters, you’re mine.”
FMC Teagan is in her glow up era and she knows it. Throw in mentally hanging in there, unsupportive family and a secret past and you get the morally grey FMC that is Teagan. I am rooting for her to get that happy ending 😉
Elle! You have worked your literary magic on this one! Hands down one I will not forget!

“Pretty Poisoned” is a dark romance masterpiece that will leave you speechless - I’m not even sure where to begin with this review. I am literally shaking as I try to put my thoughts into words. (Hopefully the review doesn’t get 🏴☠️. lol)
This book is hands-down one of the most disturbingly brilliant stories I’ve encountered in this genre and I couldn’t put it down! Be prepared to enter a uniquely crafted world where intrigue and unpredictability reign, and the lines between horror and desire are expertly blurred; This story doesn't shy away from intense and disturbing with elements that will push even the most seasoned readers to their limit, it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. “Pretty Poisoned” consumed me for two nights straight, and I’m now a die-hard Elle Mitchell fan, ready to one-click her future releases. Mind blown.
This is without a doubt one of my favorite reads of the year 👏🏼 As a conspiracy girly, it’s definitely giving illümínatí + adrenôcħrómè vibes. (If you know you know) The ending was savage! I'm left speechless and desperate for more. Good thing it's a rapid release, or I'd be driven mad with suspense! A 5-star read that deserves a spot on every dark romance lovers’ TBR!
PS. Luca’s song for her is a masterpiece 🥹

I have always loved Elle’s writing and when @goldenliterature reached out to me and said she knew I’d love this one, I was all over it.
I mean a dark why choose rockstar romance, with bloody morally/psychotic grey brothers? Absolutely this was right up my alley.
It’s been two weeks since I finished this, and it immediately put me into a reading slump. I’m literally still recovering. 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑰 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬𝑫 𝑰𝑻. Do I also need to see my mental health professional? Probably. (Sam if you see this, you should also read it)
I know this was filled with red flags, and in the real world I’d be super against it (probably). But honestly, I was eating this up, and I stayed up late into the night trying to finish it.

Pretty Poisoned lives rent free in my mind. I need book 2 asap because I miss Teagan, Declan and Luca so much already.

This book won’t be for everyone, but if you need thriller, with a lot of spice, with a hit Horror, and suspense then you will like this book….
If you don’t like people drinking blood this book is not for you…. But this book is great spooky season type of feel of book.
Elle Mitchell never disappoints me..

This book is a masterpiece!! Elle had me in the palm of her hand the ENTIRE journey of this book. When I tell you that this book will have you on the absolute edge of your seat, I can’t stress it enough. I never knew what was going to happen at the next turn and just when I think things couldn’t get any crazier it does. This entire book has me gobsmacked. I need the book like yesterday! 😂 if you need a book that will make you rethink your own sanity look no further because this will scratch that part of your brain. I’m gonna need at least 7-10 business to process what I just read.

The way I DEVOURED this in one day..I’m sorry- were these pages laced with crack cocaine?? I couldn’t put it down!! Did I just read a book about 2 rockstars who drink blood and also lead a cult? Yes. Did I fall in love with both of them? Also yes💀 This book was dark and unhinged in the best ways and seriously once you start you can’t stop! Not sure why I wasn’t expecting to get my heart broken at the end..that’s on me🤡
I’m so unwell and I am GNAWING at the bars of my enclosure for book 2😭😭😭 oh and the smut?? 10/10🥵🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I personally love a rockstar romance and especially when there are brothers involved, but this book did not need to be almost 500 pages long. Teagan forgot why she infiltraded the rock band the moment someone took their dick out! Don’t get me wrong I love a spicy, smutty unhinged novella but when a book is 495 pages long, I expect a plot that doesn’t involve fucking and 🩸 every 3 pages. I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I would have loved seeing Teagan actually do some digging/pretend to be a journalist for her podcast rather than getting dicked down every 120 seconds. I thought I was going to be a Declan girlie. Because he is very broody and unhinged in a special way. But Luca that sexy psycho talking golden retriever has my heart. He is hot like hot hot and I love that he really talks her through it.
Luca’s relationship with Teagan is why I continued the story. River & Hazel felt like side characters who were to much involved. I know they kept talking about family but I didn’t see that. And Layla? Wtf was that? I appreciate your sacrifice. The cult vibes felt a bit forced.
The ending is a complete mindfuck and I have no idea what is going on. Where did human trafficking come from? They left her? I feel like the last 15% was a complete info dump and was setting the scene for book 2. So I am intrigued to see what happens in book 2✌🏻.. I did enjoy hate reading this book as I actually do with many. But or would have been 5 stars had it been shorter, more plot and less dick!

I don't know what this says about me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Maybe I need a straightjacket too, who knows?
This was definitely not what I thought I was getting into. I expected an angsty rockstar romance, but instead I got a bloody cult experience, and I'm not mad about it.
This isn't your average dark romance. It walks the line between dark romance and horror romance, so if that's not your vibe, it might not be for you. There's a crazy amount of blood and knife play, for instance.
Luca stole my heart with his particular brand of crazy... ♡
