Tropes: Cinnamon Roll Hero, Found Family, Kick Ass Heroine, True Crime Fan
Nothing prepared Sidney Walsh for the social awkwardness of having unknowingly dated an infamous killer. She’s doing her best to move on after her ex got dragged off to jail. If only online amateur investigators, his creepy fans, and a particularly belligerent cop would leave her alone. Her personal life might be quiet, what with having few friends and the neighbors wanting nothing to do with her. But at least it’s safe. That is until tattooed chef and all-round thirst trap Noah moves in next door.
Now Sidney is being asked on dates for the first time in forever, and feeling a dangerous mix of soul-deep connection and red-hot desire. But the darkest moments of her life come crashing back when her ex decides he has unfinished business…her. Will she and Noah make it out alive, and can their love withstand the nightmare of her past?
Content notes: Violence, murder, horror, discussion of true crime, stalking, discussion of mental health.

“This book works on so many different levels. It’s suspenseful, it’s endearing, it’s dark, and it’s hopeful. It takes the serial killer angle that has been showing up everywhere, and flips how it’s done and what’s interesting about it.” – Elle H Paperback
