About this book

Could her imaginary friend be a real threat?

Daisy Dumont tries so hard to be normal. She doesn’t talk about the night her parents were murdered, or the fact she can’t remember it. She certainly doesn’t talk about her imaginary friend who disappeared shortly afterward.

Then the MRF calls. The research facility finally admits that they took her former friend - and now they want her help to save him.

Daisy is the only one who can see Subject X-15. She once knew him as Dorian, but the volatile monster in the cell bears little resemblance to the shy apparition who lived under her bed. And even with a new researcher willing to hear his side, Dorian won’t - or can’t? - explain that he didn’t kill Daisy’s parents all those years ago.

An experimental treatment could unlock what she’s forgotten, yet the more she dredges up the past, the harder it becomes to pretend she’s anything close to normal…

If Daisy doesn’t find the truth about her lost memories, Dorian will fade from existence. But if she does, she might end up in a cell herself.

Sweet and Creepy!

June 10, 2025

I picked up this book on a whim, and I'm glad I did. From the offset the slightly alarming tone hooked me. I finished this story overnight. A sweet and creepy love story being a girl and not-so-imaginary friend. Daisy's development through the book was an adventure to read and I look forward to seeing what I've missed in Skyla Gray's other works. ) One person found this helpful

another all nighter

this series is just so wonderfully sweet. every damn time, i find myself settling in, absolutely ready for a new, unconventional, monster romance. Skyla, you write beautifully, and Im drawn into your stories in a visceral \"please, i dont want it to end\" sort if way. Daisy and Dorian were so sweet. the suspense and mystery were really on point, and i really wasn't sure who killed Daisies parents until the moment was almost upon me. you set me up so well. i wish we'd a little more romance, but...

The Monster You Wish Was Under Your Bed

March 10, 2025

The first book in this series was great, and each book keeps getting better and better. I loved everything about this book and couldn't put it down. The first kiss is spine tinglingly hot. The juicy stuff is so inventive, erotic, and unlike anything I've ever read before. Daisy is strong in a way that isn't hardheaded but brave. She walks straight into situations that would have most adults wetting their pants and running away in order to protect those she cares about most. Dorian is just such...

A Fun, Unique Read

I really, really loved different elements of this book. That being said, as the book went on, I found myself loving it less and less. I absolutely adored Dorian the entire time. He’s so sweet and sad and a fabulous imaginary friend. He just wanted someone to love him for who he is while also going out of his way to protect those he loves. I wish we could’ve had more time with him, especially with more dialogue. I felt like we really only got to see him through Daisy’s perspective, so I would’ve...

Amazing Book!!

The whole book was so good! This was a one sitting type of book because I just couldnt put it down! The story was very well timed and the plot didnt feel rushed like some other books Ive recently read. The ending was super good too! Hoping to see more stories about this pair in the future )
