About this book

Jamie Kincaid has spent years perfecting the art of deception. He hides the crushing weight of his unrequited love for his best friend, Larkin, behind a facade of casual friendship. But the longing isn't his only burden; since the age of thirteen, Jamie has guarded a dark secret he swore would follow him to the grave. He believes that by keeping his distance, he is protecting the only person who truly matters.

However, the safety of their status quo shatters when it becomes clear that Larkin is harboring lethal secrets of his own. As a sinister mystery unfolds, the line between their shared past and a terrifying future begins to blur. With ghosts haunting his periphery and a serial killer lurking in the shadows, Jamie realizes that his vow of silence might lead them both toward an untimely end.

This gripping MM paranormal romance expertly blends high-stakes suspense with the delicious, agonizing tension of a long-term friends-to-lovers dynamic. Whether you are looking for sizzling chemistry, atmospheric Halloween vibes, or a story that balances heart-pounding horror with profound emotional yearning, this novella delivers. Dive into a world where the stakes are life and death, and true love is the only thing worth dying for.

So far, we've had books about witches, but this book's MCs came to Tennebrose for college. If you are hoping to see other characters, only 2 are featured, plus Kevin the goat! I really hope we get to venture back into this universe in the future. )
