The problem with stalking a predator? Sometimes, they decide to keep you. I study killers for a living. I analyze their methods, dissect their psychology, and share their darkest deeds with my podcast listeners, but I've never encountered anyone like Remy. When I spotted him at the carnival, I knew he was different. Those powerful hands, that controlled grace, the darkness lurking behind his eyes-everything about him called to the shadows inside me. I told myself I was investigating the string of disappearances that followed the carnival's route. But the truth? I was obsessed. I documented his every move, broke into his trailer, and collected pieces of his life like precious treasures. My motel room walls became a shrine to my fixation, covered in photos I'd taken without his knowledge. I thought I was the hunter, the observer safely studying my subject. I was wrong. Now, I'm trapped in his world, a willing prisoner to the monster I stalked. He's read my journals and seen every twisted fantasy I wrote about him. Instead of running, he's determined to make each one come true. They say be careful what you wish for. But what if your darkest fantasies are exactly what you need? Carnival Shadows is a dark romance with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. There will be access to a full list of the warnings at the beginning of the book. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.
