One, two, I’m coming for you.
She’s my obsession.
Three, four, kneel on the floor.
I want to possess her in every way.
Five, six, I’m up to my old tricks.
She knows me as The Portland Serial K!ll3r.
Seven, eight, lay in wait.
Little does she know I’m watching her.
Nine, ten, never to be seen again.
Welcome to your worst nightmare, Little Lamb.
Who am I? Let me introduce myself.
I’m Death. And I have found my Queen.
Ella McCloud you’re the flicker of light in my dark, dark world.
The color in my grayscale existence.
I yearn for you like the night yearns for the stars.
"In the Shadows" is not merely a dark romance novel; it is an addiction, a siren song that beckons readers into its inky embrace, refusing to release its hold even after the final page is turned. Prepare to lose yourself in the shadows, for once you enter, there is no turning back." ~ World of Books65
**Dear readers, this dark romance contains multiple POVs, multiple storylines, and many exciting moving pieces that come together in one satisfying and unexpected HEA. If you enjoy a single storyline, this book might not be for you.
** In the Shadows is a dark, age gap romance standalone with an unhinged hero. Check TW/CW and tropes on the author's website.
