When a fellow author described this book as “dark,” I was intrigued but skeptical. After all, it’s written by a Christian author in the romantic suspense genre—how dark could it be? Well, let me tell you, friend… it’s dark! If you’ve ever had any experience with cults, even the more subtle ones, this book will send shivers down your spine.

Agent Tiberius finds himself facing a chilling case that dredges up his own traumatic past, one where conformity or escape were his only options. Raised in a cult, he thought he had left that life behind, but now a series of gruesome murders—where women are tattooed and killed—pulls him right back into the nightmare. The past has resurfaced, and it’s darker than ever.

This is a gripping read, but fair warning: it’s not for the faint of heart. If you can handle the intensity, you won’t be able to put it down!
