The second instalment in the addictive dark romance Monster Trilogy from New York Times, USA Today, international and Amazon #1 bestselling author Rina Kent, where loyalty fractures and desire consumes.

In our brutal world, there's no such thing as the truth.

Lies overflow until they become a reality. But I'm determined to uncover what happened to my family.

One problem, though.

My monster, Kirill.

We are not the same anymore. It's become hard to trust one another. But it's downright impossible to stay away from each other.

It's mad, chaotic, and wrong, but it's us. And we might have to pay for it with blood.

About the Author

Rina Kent is a New York Times, USA Today, international and No. 1 Amazon bestselling author of everything enemies-to-lovers romance. She's known to write unapologetic anti-heroes and villains because she often fell in love with men no one roots for herself. Her books are sprinkled with a touch of darkness, a pinch of angst and an unhealthy dose of intensity. She spends her private days in London laughing like an evil mastermind about adding mayhem to her expanding universe. When she's not writing, Rina travels, hikes and spoils cats in a pure Cat-Lady fashion.
