Candor and Curiosity (A Slenderman Romance) [REWRITTEN]

"He's not who he says he is."

Elizabeth Black is a newspaper journalist who has dedicated her life to the people and causes that matter most to her. When she's not writing articles for the local newspaper, she is butting heads with the mayor of Cheshire, New Hampshire over his corrupt policies, or staving off advances from the mayor's son- a cunning socialite with an almost supernatural influence over women.

Elizabeth is determined to shed her dark and troubled past for a bright, peaceful future. But what happens when a friend from that past returns years later to stir the murky waters of her most painful memories?

A fatal fire, an encounter in the woods with a terrifying entity, and a sudden friendship with an eccentric millionaire all catapult Elizabeth's life along a course she's powerless to change, and as the days go by, she becomes more and more determined to drag the friend from her past along for the ride.

But little does she know that this tall, slender man-the one she's starting to fall for despite his cold demeanor- and the entity from the woods are more closely intertwined than she could ever imagine. And that he's not quite who he says he is.
