Description
Cassandra Undone Some ghosts don't haunt rooms. They haunt skin, silence, and the brushstrokes left behind. Cassandra Villalobos once believed she had left the worst parts of her life behind-a controlling partner, a forgotten childhood, and the trauma buried beneath layers of paint. But when her reclusive world is shaken by a mysterious artist and a circle of radical creators, Cass finds herself pulled into a new world of expression, friendship, and slow-burning desire. As she dares to create again, Cass begins to untangle the threads of her past-the art tutor who violated her trust, the partner who weaponized her pain, and the voice inside her that was never quite silent, only suppressed. But just as she steps into her power, a betrayal upends her sense of safety, and a figure from her past returns with a chilling message: the price of healing is never paid in full. Set against the backdrop of underground art shows, late-night studios, and criminal undercurrents lurking at the edges of the city, Cassandra Undone is a haunting, lyrical journey through trauma, survival, and self-reclamation. Raw, intimate, and quietly defiant, this is the story of a woman unmaking the version of herself built to survive-and becoming the one brave enough to live.
