ABOUT THE BOOK:

Ella McCloud has caught the attention of a man who hides within the shadows—a dangerous and completely unhinged killer known as Death.

To the rest of the world, he is the Portland Serial Killer. To Death, Ella is his obsession, his flicker of light, and the only color within his otherwise grayscale existence. He watches her from the darkness, patiently learning everything about the woman he has already decided will become his queen.

As Ella’s life becomes entangled with danger, desire, and terrifying secrets, the line between protector and predator begins to disappear. Multiple perspectives and interconnected storylines gradually come together in a dark, suspenseful romance filled with unexpected revelations.
