Sweet Teeth
When Ruby left home at seventeen, she swore she’d never return. The town was too small, too sweet, too suffocating.
But when duty calls her back, she finds nothing has changed—except for the shadows under the sugar. The Festival of Honey is in full bloom, coating everything in gold and perfection. Smiles are masks. Ribbons bind body and mind. And the town itself seems to breathe, watching for the first sign of defiance.
Ruby never questioned the rules—until now. Beneath the pastel ribbons and perfect lawns, something ancient stirs, feeding on submission and punishing imperfection. Every sweet thing hides a rot, and every act of rebellion has a price.
As honey drips and bodies vanish, Ruby’s fight to survive becomes a war for her soul. Because in a town this beautiful, even rebellion bleeds sweet.
The Festival wants her devotion. It’ll get her wrath.

About the author
Reign Reeves Pearson
12 books25 followersReign Reeves Pearson is a writer, storyteller, and chaos enthusiast based in Houston, where she lives with her husband, four kids, and three cats who may or may not be plotting world domination. She thrives on Kopiko, rainy days, and an endless love for Final Fantasy VII and Dungeons & Dragons.
She’s been writing for as long as she can remember. But in 2019, a health scare forced her to take a hard look at her life, and the answer was clear: writing wasn’t just something she did. It was what she was meant to do.
Her debut novel and series, Poseidon’s Daughters: Reckoning, is her first and only planned adventure into sci-fi. Going forward, expect Southern Gothic chills, cosmic nightmares, and nostalgic ‘90s horror—all infused with her signature mix of heart, humor, and a touch of the macabre.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably dreaming up elaborate D&D campaigns, getting emotionally wrecked by Final Fantasy VII (again), or staring dramatically out a window while it rains.

1/2 horror novel about a creepy festival, 1/2 thriller where a female heroine kicks some ass, but really it’s an alert. A discourse on the society that we currently live in.
The authors descriptive qualities are nearly unparalleled. All five senses are ignited in this horrifying tale, a must read for all those that want a badass female protagonist.
