BLURB:
A serial killer targets couples in love... But he accidentally takes a pair of enemies instead.
Eden Callahan survived a famous serial killer at thirteen by playing dead while her family was butchered around her. When she's attacked by another killer at twenty-one and rescued in the nick of time, she discovers a horrifying truth:
Some serial killers come back as ghosts after they die and possess innocent people to continue their murder sprees.
Eden joins a team of paranormal investigators aimed at finding and extracting these ghosts, and quickly begins hunting the most sadistic entity the team has ever encountered. When he was alive, the Game Master got famous for forcing couples into trials designed to break their love, and now that he's dead, his games have gotten worse.
Eden hunts the Game Master alongside the team, trying to stop him before he kills another victim. But the Game Master has big plans for his next trials, and when Eden gets caught in his crosshairs, she will have to use all her cunning if she has any chance of getting through the investigation alive.

You'll love this if you loved...
1. Everything about Criminal Minds (the team dynamic, the pacing, the cases, behavioral psychology, ugh I friggin love that show)
2. Saw (I drew lots of inspiration from Saw for the games the two enemies have to play)
3. Supernatural (I paid homage to Sam and Dean when creating my worldbuilding system)
4. A possessive morally grey MMC inspired by Aaron Hotchner and Xaden Riorson who would kill anyone for her
5. Found family like in The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
6. The mix of comedy and gore in Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
7. True crime (I did a lot of research into the psychology of real serial killers when building the fictional ones in this book. Big true crime fans might catch my easter eggs.)
