The Monster I Created

Naëlle wakes in a remote mountain home, her memories gone, recently married to a man whose face she doesn't recognize. The man by her side-her husband-is gentle, fluent in her language, and utterly devoted. But something about him feels wrong.

In the misty heights of Kenscoff, Haiti, Naëlle is surrounded by silence and shadows. Visions plague her. Her life feels like a trap she can't unlock. Every whisper, every touch, tightens the fog around her mind.

As fear seeps in, she begins to wonder whether the real danger lies beyond the mountains, or behind her in her own bed.

This thriller is a tense, intoxicating novel about identity, obsession, Stockholm syndrome, and the lies we cling to when the truth is too terrifying to face.
