Bella Vex is the dark alter ego of USA Today bestselling romance author Rachelle Ayala. While Rachelle spends her days crafting heartwarming love stories, Bella emerges at midnight to explore the shadows where desire turns to obsession and tradition hides ancient horrors. Bella’s work explores themes of identity, transformation, and the price we pay for belonging. She believes that the best horror stories are born where passion and fear intersect, and she brings this unique perspective from her romance background into her horror fiction.
