A serial killer has been running rampant along the west coast and Adelaide Quinn just became the sole witness to his latest massacre.
She is no stranger to trauma related anxiety, being a victim of an abusive relationship and parents who are prejudiced against mutants, but this is something else entirely, and she's neither ready nor willing to deal with it.
If that weren't enough, she now has a ridiculously attractive private investigator following her. One with stunning yellow eyes, a stupidly adorable smile, and the terrifying mutation that allows him to turn into people's greatest fears.
He claims he has a way to determine the identity of The Costal Carver. He claims he needs her help. The trouble is, she couldn't remember that night even if she wanted to, and she really doesn't want to.
But The Carver is hunting her, and she has no choice. They have to catch him before he kills again. Before she becomes the newest addition to his gruesome collection.

Trigger
✎ "I could've killed you that night and I didn't. I had my gun to your head ready to drain the life from you, but I didn't." His eyes averted mine, and I saw an opening in them, something I wouldn't even have considered looking for if I was still overcome by anger. "Why didn't you?" I asked, watching him as he began to play with his sleeve cuffs in a way that I knew was unique to him. "Because I know what it's like to fight for something you love. Killing you would have just made me no different than another monster who lost themselves in the fight." He continued, "And I saw something in you I haven't seen in myself in a while- fire." ✎ Two unlikely allies ─ a fiery, hot-headed spy and a slick, calculating conman ─ are forced to team up to track down a dangerous criminal and uncover why sensitive information is being leaked. But as their pursuit pulls them deeper into a web of betrayal and deception, they discover that the whistleblower is just the beginning. Hidden in the shadows lies a not-so-human world-and with it, a truth neither of them is prepared to face. Along the way, their undeniable (yet endlessly denied) attraction threatens to ignite, even as the world around them begins to unravel.
