A Love Letter to Reading is a genre-blending literary thriller that follows Ariana Rossi, a skilled assassin raised in a morally corrupt crime family. By day, she’s a compassionate pediatric oncology nurse. By night, she operates as the elusive "Scorpion," executing high-profile targets in choreographed precision—each kill set to a curated playlist. But when a job hits too close to home, Ariana begins to question her loyalty, identity, and future. With emotional depth, dark humor, and unexpected tenderness, this debut novel explores themes of duality, trauma, justice, and the healing power of story and connection.
