🌑 Coming Soon: Bellatorra by Tarah M. Carrera

A city of ghosts. A girl with a gift. A love that defies darkness.

I’m beyond excited to announce the upcoming release of my newest novel, Bellatorra—a YA paranormal romance that blends the haunted charm of Savannah, Georgia with supernatural suspense, fierce sisterhood, and an unforgettable love story.

About the Book

Brynn Bettencourt is ready to begin a new chapter at SCAD, the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design. But from the moment she steps into the city’s storied streets, strange things stir beneath the surface. Whispers follow her through alleyways. Shadows cling too tightly. And then there’s him.

Brandon is magnetic, mysterious, and impossibly familiar—like a dream she’s lived before. The connection between them is instant and intense. But something dark has noticed Brynn, too. An ancient force, long buried, begins to rise. And Brynn? She’s more than just a freshman art student—she’s the last Disciple in a forgotten line of supernatural warriors called the Bellatorra.

With demons on her heels and visions blurring the lines of past and present, Brynn must uncover the truth about her heritage, her power, and the chilling destiny that binds her to Brandon.

Because love may be written in the stars—but it comes with a cost.
