You Shouldn't Be Reading This

Joseph was supposed to be dead.

For Dahlia, his death should have meant freedom-the end of twelve years of manipulation, fear, and abuse. Instead, it becomes the beginning of something far worse.

The nightmares start first.

Then his cologne.

His voice.

His belongings appearing in places she knows she emptied.

And eventually, Dahlia realizes the truth:

Death didn't take Joseph from her.

It only took away the one thing that could stop him.

His body.
