Behind the Shadows by J.A. Owenby
Rating: 4/5
Spice: 4/5
Plot: 5/5
Primary Genre: Dark Romance
Blurb:
Some of us were born into darkness. Others were shackled. They drugged me. Chained me. Tore apart my mind until the pieces didnโt fit anymore. Then they gave me a name. Cleaner. K!ller. Son. Monster. Told me the blood on my hands was hers. Then they smiled and made me k!ll again. And they told me she never existed. But Iโve seen her. In dreams. In flashes of red hair and blood. And now sheโs realโflesh and bone and terrified eyes. But they made one mistake. They didnโt bury her deep enough. Now sheโs back. And even if she doesnโt remember meโMy obsession remembers everything. She runs. I follow. She screams. I savor it. She looks at me like a stranger. And I try not to laugh. Because I know her body better than she does. Iโve watched her sleep. Touched her skin. Marked her without mercy. And now that Iโve found her againโฆThereโs no version of this where I let her go.
You donโt have to love me, little ghost.
Lock the door. Scream my name. Run.
Iโve never needed permission to take whatโs mine.
**Dear readers, this dark romance contains multiple storylines, and many exciting moving pieces that come together in one satisfying and unexpected HEA. If you enjoy a single storyline, this book might not be for you.
