Kylie Skeval, recently moved out on her own after enduring years of violent abuse, family deaths, and memory loss.
Unsure of whether she really wants to know what she's forgotten, her life is quickly sent spiraling into chaos when she becomes aware of her stalker.
Jack Besel is deep in an obsessive love for Kylie, and he's been watching her closely as he waits. He waits for her to succumb to the love he knows she can feel, somewhere deep and buried within her soul. He refuses to let anything keep them apart.
She is drawn to him, despite the paranoia and distrust that's always clouded her life like a heavy fog.
She wades through self doubt and fear, for a chance to feel something other than pain and hollowness. She would risk even her own life to fill the emptiness that haunts her soul.
Kylie wrestles with her strange, distorted morals and the growing hunger for violence, which she isn't sure she can keep from boiling over much longer.
Even sleep is a morbid prison of fear and agony, and she starts to doubt that she can even trust her own mind when there's so much she can't remember. Balancing on the edge of reality and delusion, He is the only one able to pull her back over to reality.
Jack always leaves her wanting more, always holding something back. He wants her to give him her trust, before he'll give her his secrets. But Kylie is determined to find out what his secrets are, no matter the risk it entails.
He is everything she has always longed for so deeply, but she's afraid to get her hopes up, as it seems impossible that anything good could really last in her broken poisoned life.
Maybe only someone even more twisted and unhinged than her, would be enough to bring her sick heart to life.

Some themes may be triggering, but I wanted to include them, as a survivor of child abuse and self harm.
A storm brews so slowly that you hear your blood rush through your veins.
How do you keep yourself sane when insanity is your best friend?
Kiara is standing in the eye of the storm. Bloodied and bruised by daggers of the past; past that is not hers.
What started as an unethical help for a patient has now turned into a frenzied search for a man who said goodbye to many, silently.
The search soon turns into a chaotic hunt for truth that drags Kiara to the dark places she has never been to, places that hold the darkest secrets and, places that have only seen blood and heard screams.
How will she reveal the truth when every loyalty of every person in her life is at the question? How will she fight and win alone when each of them is a possible betrayer?? How will she throw light on the truth when the deeper she digs the darker it gets?
Her life is at the lowest stake. When she can't trust anyone, when every person she meets is a person of suspicion, it's on her to crawl through the graves and make the dead speak.
