Author's Note!

Welcome to the first book of this dark, twisty, obsession-fueled series! Before we go any further, a few things:

1. This is a dark romance. Which means, yes, there will be stalking-sometimes light, sometimes extreme. Maybe by the male lead. Maybe by the female lead. Maybe by both, because equality matters.

2. Each book can be read as a standalone, but if you want the full experience, read them in order. Trust me.

3. Triggers are real. I've listed the big ones, but if dark themes aren't your thing, proceed with caution.

4. English is not my first language, so if you spot my grammar stumbling around like a drunk person at 2 AM, just pat it on the back and move on.

Lastly, thanks for picking up my book! I promise not to disappoint... or at least I'll try my best. Now, go ahead-step into the darkness.
