About this book

Everly Wesson’s life shattered the moment a sadistic professor’s sensory-deprivation experiment went wrong. Left with the haunting ability to communicate with the dead, she is thrust into a nightmare when she discovers a fresh crime scene. Now, she is being hunted by a killer who views her as the ultimate player in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Fearing for her sanity and her life, she turns to the only person she trusts: her brother’s best friend, Isaac Briggs.

Isaac is a seasoned, guarded psychiatrist with a twenty-year age gap that makes their connection both forbidden and electric. As a pillar of stability, he struggles to reconcile his clinical logic with the supernatural reality Everly is desperate to prove. Yet, as the killer’s riddles grow increasingly violent, their professional distance evaporates, replaced by a desperate, incendiary craving for protection and touch.

This high-stakes paranormal romance masterfully blends academy-inspired trauma with pulse-pounding suspense. Jessie Ellis delivers a dark, atmospheric journey where ghosts are real, the past is inescapable, and the chemistry is scorching. If you are looking for a gripping thriller filled with mystery and a forbidden romance that defies the odds, this is your next obsession.

I've been following this series and they keep getting better! Romantic relationship between Isaac and Everly was my favorite. One word: hot!! The thriller plot had me guessing. Lots of suspects, kept me turning pages . The ending was perfect. Wrapped everything up nicely as usual but I can't wait for a Jude story. Hope there's one soon. I highly recommend starting with the first book. You will be hooked like me! )
