Angelina Sicco knows every crack in her small mountain town. She drinks at the dive bar, teases her brother at band gigs, and lures beautiful queer women to a place most can’t wait to escape. It’s a routine she accepts—until Jagvi returns. Stern, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, Jagvi stirs something in Angelina that feels dangerous.
Their reunion awakens more than old sparks. A monstrous force rises, feeding on passion, heartbreak, and messy human lives. It wants Angelina, and only Jagvi’s touch seems to hold it at bay.
Shortlisted for Best Horror Novel by the British Fantasy Awards, this hybrid horror-romance blends desire with dread. Angelina must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for love, for survival, and for a future the monster refuses to release.
