Publisher Description
Gothikana meets Dexter in this sinfully delicious dark romance about a film student who’s secretly tracking the murders of a serial killer—unaware he’s also her brooding professor.
There’s a serial killer prowling the city, and no one has noticed…
Except for me.
I see the connections between his kills—
The artistic references,
The careful curation of the scene,
The macabre motifs that turn violence into vivid works of art.
When I recreate one of his murders for my film project at Cresswell University,
I unknowingly present it to the very man who committed the crime.
Professor Maddox Shaw.
A world-renowned artist struggling to recapture his muse.
A serial killer caught deep in the web of a dangerous secret society.
A man who makes me come alive.
Sleeping with your professor is bad enough.
Sleeping with a serial killer is just asking for trouble.
When trouble finds me, it’s not Maddox, but the powerful people pulling his strings.
There’s no line they won’t cross to keep their secrets safe.
And there’s no line Maddox won’t cross to keep me.
After all, he’s good at killing people.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Life imitates art and vice versa in this spicy, pitch-dark romance from St. Graves (Scorpion). Reyna, an orphan, has been "fascinated by death" her entire life. Now in her final year at New York City's prestigious Cresswell University, a school she chose seeking answers about her mysterious father, who made her promise to stay away from both the city and Cresswell itself, she uses her macabre fascination to inspire her film class assignments, restaging the elaborate murders of an active serial killer she's dubbed the Shadow. Unbeknownst to Reyna, her famous film professor, Maddox Shaw, and the Shadow are one and the same. He makes his kills on behalf of The Order, a powerful cabal of wealthy families, who have also ordered him into an arranged marriage with a woman he cannot stand. Reyna and Maddox are mutually drawn to the other's inner darkness and obsession blooms on both sides. Their taboo romance is scorching, edgy, and not for the squeamish. The secret society plot feels a bit tired, as does a late reveal about Reyna's family, but Graves has a cinematic eye for detail and the central couple are well-matched in their twistedness. Readers who like their romance with a side of gore will want to check this out.
