Charlotte
It’s been three months since my best friend Edie disappeared. The cops don’t care, so if anyone’s going to find her, it’s me.
Until I make the mistake of stopping at a roadside diner in southern Louisiana. Now, a seriously unhinged serial killer has me chained up in his crumbling old house in the middle of nowhere.
He says he’s not allowed to kill me.
So what’s he going to do to me instead?

When I first saw Charlotte, I thought she was a victim, marked by my gods for the slaughter.
But then it becomes very clear that the gods have other things in mind for her. I just don’t know what.
So I keep her alive.
And I try to keep my distance.
But something keeps drawing me toward her. A yearning I can’t deny.
And neither, it seems, can she.
