Welcome to the world of
The Armageddon Rules of Dating

Jessica Sandoval has rules. Rules about boys, about faith, about keeping her heart (and her curfew) intact. But nobody warned her that falling for her bad-boy best friend would be the easy part—or that something in the dark had been watching her all along.

Equal parts sweet, funny, and spine-tingling, this is a story about first love, unshakable faith, and the kind of courage it takes to face what goes bump in the night. Come for the romance. Stay for the holy chaos.

ADVISORY:

Just so you know: This series is New Adult (18+). It's romantic, funny, and full of heart—but it also earns its mature rating with steamy moments, explicit language, real peril, and some genuinely dark corners. Reader discretion is loved and appreciated.
