Alice is invisible. A quiet, bookish soul, she prefers the company of fictional heroes to the harsh realities of campus life. Her only vice is a secret, hopeless fixation on Arthur, the golden boy adored by everyone. To Alice, Arthur is a beautiful sun she can only orbit from afar.
She doesn't know that she is his entire universe.
While Alice thinks she is watching Arthur from a safe distance, he is watching her right back. He knows the scent of her shampoo, the title of every book she checks out, and exactly which coffee shop table she prefers. He is the quiet shadow in the corner of the lecture hall, the anonymous hand securing her safety, the obsessive force meticulously dismantling her life to ensure she belongs only to him.
As Alice finally begins to step out of her shell, Arthur decides that watching is no longer enough. The facade of the charming heartthrob is slipping, revealing the terrifying predator beneath.
In this chilling tale of obsession and distorted love, Alice is about to learn that being loved by the wrong person is more terrifying than being invisible.
