Darkness

Elise Grey wants nothing more than to live a carefree life that doesn't include having to juggle two part-time jobs just to make ends meet. Her best friend pushes her to break free of the life she is locked in, yet she refuses too because she's comfortable with where she is.

When she meets fellow aspiring artist Aidan Howard in the cafe of the bookstore she works inside, they have an immediate connection but she's wary of him because of what happened recently to her cousin, Lily Antonucci. That is until one of her classmates from college recognizes him and tells her to keep a distance from Aidan. He may look and act like a gentleman but has a track record of females disappearing around him.

On a whim brought up to her by Diem, she decides to give him a chance after all because what's the harm of a simple date? As time goes on, she starts to understand the importance of the missing females. She ignores all the red flags due to her inability of being dug six feet under by him, literally. She doesn't see what he's really trying to do until it's too late.
