MIA
All I wanted was a fresh start. But when death follows you wherever you go, how do you find peace?
I’m the daughter of the Lakestone Reaper, a notorious serial killer. I came to Fallbank, looking to get away from the skeletons of my tainted legacy. But little did I know that something darker waited for me in this not-so quaint little town.Because it seems death is not the only shadow haunting me now.He is unhinged. Dangerous. His touch awakens something in me—a deep longing, a primal desire. He’s claimed me, sunk his claws in so deep, I think I may never escape.And deep down, I don’t want to.I hate him. But I crave him.Maybe I’m just as sick and twisted as he is.BLAKE
During the day, I chronicle the misdeeds of men, seeking out their sins and exposing their depravity. But at night, I become the nightmare that haunts theirs, meting out justice.
From the moment I saw her, I knew. She is a woman whose darkness matches my own.I will possess her, body and soul. And I’ll eliminate anyone who dares to come between us. I will never let her go—because people like us are meant to be.Her secret can’t stay hidden forever.I will draw out her inner darkness soon enough. And if it takes breaking her entirely to put her back together again, then so be it. Nothing will keep us apart now.I’m coming for you, Little Finch.

When Gabe left all those years ago without saying goodbye, losing him nearly destroyed me. He was my protector. My confidant.
And completely off-limits.When my so-called friends humiliate me in front of most of the town on my birthday, who shows up to comfort me? None other than my long-lost stepbrother, Gabe.I’d say he hasn’t changed a bit, but that would be a lie. I can’t deny the attraction I have for him, how I touch myself to the thought of him. But how can I forgive him for abandoning me after my father’s passing?When my old friend circle starts dropping dead, people begin to talk. There might be a serial killer on the loose. But the question is, are they on my side?Or am I next?GABE
After my stint in Hollywood, I returned to my old life in New York—only to stumble upon my former stepsister crying on the side of the road.
I see the pain in Val’s eyes, a testament to the cruelty inflicted by those she once called friends. I vowed to protect her—and I will become the monster that preys upon them instead, so she never has to fear again.They have no idea how far I’ll go to keep her safe.Acting in b-horror movies doesn’t exactly pay the bills, so I had gotten involved with the mob. Started working as a hitman. I didn’t care who I killed as long as it paid well. And unfortunately for Val’s old friends, I’m good at what I do.Because this town will pay for what they did.No one will ever harm my Butterfly again.

I have been following her for a while now—because the moment I laid eyes on her, I was obsessed. I am the predator; she is my prey. I pursue her, chase her into the old Blackwood family corn maze. I will claim my prize, bring her to submission.I will make all her fantasies come to life.
