Lights Out meets Butcher & Blackbird in Dead Lift, a serial killer romcom from indie author Clio Evans

Murdering a man isn't hard. Getting rid of the body, though? That’s another story.

Forensic scientist Shelby has a simple plan. Get justice for her sister, kill the men who murdered her, and (hopefully) get away with it. But when a hot himbo with a man bun catches Shelby in the act―her simple plan becomes a lot more complicated.

With her pink hazmat suit and butcher knife, Shelby is the most alluring woman Brad has ever met. He’s in danger, but he’s never felt more alive. He needs to be in her life, even if it means risking his.

Brad offers to be her henchman. Shelby grudgingly decides to spare his life. What could possibly go wrong?

It turns out everything.

Will Shelby finally get the justice she’s sacrificed her future for? Or will falling for her hot himbo henchman ruin it all?
