He controlled her every move for fifteen years. Now, he's watching from the shadows.
This heart-stopping psychological thriller explores the terror of coercive control and the unstoppable resilience of a survivor.
In a rainy coffee shop, Daniel seemed like the perfect man. Charming. Attentive. Safe. He brought Maya coffee, encouraged her art, and promised her the world. But the mask quickly slipped, revealing a nightmare of isolation, financial control, and psychological manipulation that would dismantle Maya's life piece by piece.
Leaving was supposed to be the end. It was only the beginning.
Two years after her escape, Maya has rebuilt a fragile peace. She has a new apartment, a career she loves, and Alex-a man who teaches her that love doesn't have to hurt. But the red dot on her GPS tracker tells a different story. Daniel is out of prison, and he's circling. Always just 100 yards away. Always watching.
As the coincidental run-ins escalate and the digital messages turn menacing, Maya realizes the legal system can't protect her from a man who knows exactly where the lines are drawn. When the threats extend to the family she's finally reconnected with and the daughter she fights to protect, Maya must make a choice: run and lose everything again, or stand her ground and fight a monster who knows her every weakness.
A harrowing, deeply moving exploration of post-separation abuse, Shadows of You asks the terrifying question: How do you move forward when the past is following you home?
Why readers are captivated by Shadows of You:
- A chillingly realistic portrayal of stalking that had me checking my locks.
- Heartbreaking and triumphant. Maya's journey from victim to survivor is unforgettable.
- The tension is relentless. I couldn't put it down until I knew she was safe.
Trigger Warning: This novel contains realistic depictions of domestic abuse, gaslighting, stalking, and PTSD.
