Some Monsters Aren't Real

Marco Moretti, the exiled heir to a notorious crime empire, is trying to survive on the fringes of society when he meets Eden Cole, a sharp-witted private investigator with her own hidden scars. Forced into an uneasy partnership, they navigate Chicago's dangerous underworld, where power is traded in secrets, alliances are forged in blood, and justice often comes at a price.

As Eden hunts the city's monsters-predators hiding behind wealth and influence-Marco confronts the shadows of his past, his own complicity in the atrocities he once helped cover up. Together, they walk a razor-thin line between redemption and ruin, uncovering truths that could destroy them both. But when old enemies resurface and deadly conspiracies close in, Marco and Eden must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to protect what matters most-and whether monsters can ever truly change.

In this dark and gripping tale of power, betrayal, and fragile humanity, Some Monsters Aren't Real explores the cost of survival and the fight to reclaim one's soul in a world where trust is a luxury and justice is never simple.
