A riveting thriller…I ended up questioning everything I know about love, justice, grief, the ethics of killing, and the predatory nature of the "wellness" industry. From the first page, Sienna Sharpe grabbed me and didn't let go.

A brilliant mix of romance and revenge.

Jennifer Holdich, author of Julie Tudor is Not a Psychopath

A twisty, smart and multi-layered thriller with an unforgettable anti-heroine that I couldn’t help but root for...Sienna Sharpe masterfully blends a gripping mystery with a captivating romance.

Veronika Dapunt, author of Death and Other Occupational Hazards

(A) thriller/romance which defies genre conventions in both regards to create a sharp, interesting and cathartic plot that'll keep you guessing up until the very end...The final chapters of this book had me glued to the page, unable to predict what would happen next. My heart was broken, then repaired and that is something only a really good romance can pull off.

Amy Cunningham, author of The Serial Killer's Party

The romance and revenge will thrill and shock you. An incredibly twisty read with even more important conversations about wellness, body image, and how that fits in society. This should not be skipped.

I think I’ve met the love of my life. . . He might be a serial killer. 
 
When my best friend Zoe vanished, the police stopped looking. I didn’t. Not with a serial killer on the loose. So I made it my mission to find her. I stalked online forums. Worked her old job. Chased every lead, until obsession became the only thing keeping me breathing. The truth? I’m unravelling. 
 
Then I meet Liam. 
 
He looks at me like he’s already decided I’m his. Charming. Devastatingly handsome. With him, I feel safe. Wanted. Seen. And I know falling for him would be the easiest thing I ever do. 
 
Until he leans closer . . . and I see it. The one detail that changes everything. 
 
If Liam murdered Zoe, I’ll prove it. Even if I have to keep dating him. Even if it destroys me. 
 
Because the closer I get to the truth, the harder he is to leave. 
 
Will it end in love… or murder?
