To the world, she is Eliza the Boy Eater, a literary sensation whose gruesome horror novels top the charts. But Lyric Elizabeth Gray isn't just writing fiction; she's keeping a diary of her real-life kills. For years, she has stalked, murdered, and consumed her victims, turning her monstrous appetites into a media empire.
Special Agent Karter Hawkings knows the darkness of Lyric's world better than anyone. Years ago, he was blamed for his brother's disappearance—a crime Lyric actually committed. Now an FBI agent, Karter is tasked with bringing the woman who destroyed his family to justice. But as the investigation deepens, a terrifying truth emerges: Karter isn't just her pursuer; he's her obsession.
Caught between a submissive defense attorney and a federal agent who can't decide if he wants to arrest her or join her, Lyric turns her trial into a macabre stage. In this twisted game of cat and mouse, the line between hunter and prey dissolves into a visceral hunger that threatens to consume everyone involved.
In this pulse-pounding exploration of parasitic love and moral decay, Hailey Freeman delivers a thriller that asks: how far would you go for the monster you love?
