Description
Zoey Sheffield never understood the appeal of the unknown.
She knows what she likes. She’s a blunt woman. A woman who craves control. She doesn’t need love—the mere idea of romance is detestable and she does not need a man to stand by her side. She would much rather have their company in bed…or in a car…or in an alleyway…the location isn’t relevant, really. What’s important is that she could happily and promptly bid them adieu after they served their purpose and then, she could move on to the next one. The world that she’s been thrust into, however, is one where that thought seems utterly impossible.
It's all because of the stupid men.
The men have made Zoey’s life more complicated than she wished it to be, and she struggles to hold onto the reins to her own reality. However, there is more for Zoey that lurks in the shadows. The threat crouches in the distance, hides around corners, and awaits the most imperfect opportunity to present itself. It’s ready to snatch the reins from Zoey’s hands altogether.
And the uncomfortable unknown that she’s forever attempted to avoid is now a darkness that threatens to drown her completely.
TW: stalking, attempted sexual assault, mentions of childhood abuse, mentions of suicide, and death.

This book was absolutely fantastic it had a bit of everything mixed & combined superbly to deliver a perfect read!
I found myself enjoying the story for it never bored and kept me returning to continue it.
Didn't expect to have a thriller vibe which was a cool plot twist.
Good execution, great characters, amazing plot and super well written. Quite loved it tbh!
+ the love triangle was done tastefully with no cheating or extra drama. Spice wasn't way over the top which I much prefer!
This author has now become someone whose books I'd most likely be interested in seeing. Definitely give it a read, will be enjoyable esp for romance-suspense lovers.
My fav read of the month! Well deserved 💚
