Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers where the villain is attractive and charismatic, making the manipulation feel believable and terrifying.
  • You're drawn to stories about ordinary people trapped in extraordinary danger, especially when family dynamics become weaponised.
  • You want a page-turner with multiple twists that actually land, not a slow burn that exhausts you before the payoff.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone mysteries where the central question is solved methodically rather than through repeated shocks and reveals.
  • You're looking for nuanced character development or psychological depth over pure plot momentum and tension.
  • You need content warnings for obsessive behaviour and find escalating stalking narratives distressing rather than thrilling.

About this book

When Daniella rescues elderly Peggy from a mugger on a Boston street, she meets Peggy's son Lucas—handsome and captivating in ways her distant husband Grant is not. After one reckless night together, Daniella immediately regrets the encounter. But Lucas has other plans. He needs Daniella and is willing to destroy anyone in his way. He systematically inserts himself into her life, befriending her husband, charming her twin daughters, and becoming impossible to avoid. As his obsession deepens, Daniella realizes she is fighting for her survival. The family she tried to help harbors dark secrets, and she has already become too entangled to escape. This psychological thriller is from the author of One Little Mistake and The Visitors.
