WARNING!!: this is a very slow burn with some teasing moments.
After sneaking out to a party, 17-year-old Annabelle ends up stranded at a dark, abandoned gas station, trying to shake off the effects of her wild night. But the night takes a turn when the world around her begins to unravel-power cuts, a strange, eerie silence, and vicious creatures lurking in the shadows. She's not just dealing with a bad decision anymore-she's fighting for her life.
Then there's Tom Kaulitz. He's tall, dangerous, and knows exactly how to survive when everything goes to hell. Cold, stubborn, and calculating, Tom has his own reasons for not getting close to anyone, especially not Annabelle. But as the night grows darker and the dangers closer, they're forced to rely on each other to escape the chaos. Tom tries to ignore the spark between them, but the harder he tries, the more intense it becomes. He won't let himself care, but the pull is undeniable.
Tom's past is a tangled mess of secrets and a bitter truth: his father-an eccentric scientist-overheard a conversation about the world ending in a lab, and he tried to warn everyone. No one listened. Now, Tom is left to piece together his father's cryptic notes, navigating a world crumbling around him.
With the creatures closing in and the bunker they're headed to no guarantee of safety, Tom's hardened exterior begins to crack as he battles not only the monsters hunting them but his own emotions. But he can't afford to let his guard down, not when the stakes are this high.
As the night pushes them further into the unknown, Annabelle and Tom have to decide-can they survive together? Or will the tension between them, and the truth about Tom's father, tear them apart before they even have a chance? In this heart-pounding thriller, trust is a dangerous game, and survival might just depend on who you're willing to risk everything for.
