Perfect for you if...

  • You love dark, fast-paced thrillers where the lines between hero and villain blur and you're never quite sure who to trust.
  • You're drawn to damaged protagonists with real stakes. Bobbie's grief over losing her family isn't background detail. It drives everything.
  • You enjoy romantic suspense where attraction builds alongside danger, not instead of it. The chemistry here matters because both characters are unmoored.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone thrillers. This is book one of a series, and it sets up threads meant to continue.
  • You want a serial killer mystery where the puzzle is the main appeal. The Storyteller is the catalyst, not the focus.
  • You need your protagonists to be fundamentally good people. Both Bobbie and Nick operate in moral grey zones that might frustrate you.

About this book

Detective Bobbie Gentry is determined to stop the serial killer responsible for the deaths of her husband and child. Nick Shade, a mysterious vigilante, shares her drive for vengeance and is also pursuing the same murderer, known as the Storyteller. Nick sees an opportunity to get close to his target by staying near Bobbie. As Bobbie becomes increasingly reckless in her efforts to draw out the Storyteller, Nick faces a difficult decision: whether to protect her from her own dangerous choices or pursue his own mission. Bobbie, meanwhile, must decide how much to trust this enigmatic stranger who knows far more about her than he should. Both characters must confront whether two damaged people can help each other survive what lies ahead.
