Monique: A Dark Thriller

By E.J. WOOD

"Can love exist in the shadows?"

Count to ten, little bird. Count to ten.

Monique knows someone is watching her. She feels it in the pauses, the silences, the way life is slowly tightening around her. Someone calls her little bird. Someone believes she needs protecting. Someone believes she belongs in a cage.

He tells himself it's love. He tells himself it's for her own safety. But obsession doesn't need permission.

When a struggling author moves into Shadow Brook manor, she believes she's found the perfect inspiration: a quiet place filled with secrets, shadows, and stories begging to be told. The deeper she digs, the more tangled the truth becomes - until she can no longer tell whether she's uncovering a dangerous obsession...or becoming part of it.

Because some love stories aren't romances. Some are psychological traps. And some stories are too dangerous to write until it's already too late.

A dark, twisty psychological thriller about obsession, control, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
