You are cordially invited to the Valentine’s Day wedding of Harriet and Josh. Should anyone present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace. Orla Bard might have a few things to say. As her two lives collide, can Orla protect those she cares about from the carnage of The Ick? Can true love prevail? Or is a Valentine’s Day massacre on the cards? All will be revealed in this heart-stopping conclusion.

Following the disastrous events of Halloween, Orla is in freefall, and has never felt more alone. Fully embracing her murderous mission, she has set her vengeful sights on her white whale: odious manosphere influencer Rick Holester, whose speaking tour has arrived in Seattle. If one horrible man is so toxic that him being eaten by The Ick would make the world a tangibly better place, is it worth the cost? Meanwhile, Gwyn has some secrets of his own to share.

Orla! #3

The Ick – the terrifying creature Orla transforms into – is unleashed at times of stress, and the longer she tries to keep it bottled in, the harder it is to hold back. But Orla is working at being a different, better person, and part of that is finally keeping her promise to attend her best friend Harriet’s Halloween party. Crowded rooms, loud music, Harriet’s emotionally abusive fiancé Josh… sounds like a stressful environment. And, weeks since it was last let loose, The Ick needs to be fed…

Orla has reluctantly agreed to a lunch-date with Gwyn, the friendly manager of her favourite local bookstore that she’s been crushing on. Gwyn tells cheesy jokes, dances badly, and has a worrying lack of embarrassment. But as initial awkwardness gives way to a fun afternoon, Orla faces a conundrum: how does she deal with a guy she actually likes and doesn’t want her murderous alter ego to devour? Orla might just have a chance at a story-book romance of her own… if she can keep her inner monster under control.
