I thought it was my dream house. Then he turned it into a nightmare.
Chloe
When I inherit a gorgeous lake house from my grandparents, I'm thrilled at the prospect of home ownership, even if it is in the middle of nowhere.
But I find out quickly enough that the lake outside my back door has a history, and it's not a pretty one: Drownings. Disappearances. And a ghost story that goes back sixty years.
The locals say an undead killer haunts the woods around the lake, taking out trespassers. I figure they're just trying to scare me back to the city.
That is, until I notice him: a dark figure watching from the shadows.
And it turns out I might have to believe in ghost stories after all.
Theo
All I want is to be left alone.
But the developers came and built houses on my land anyway. I tell myself that as long as the strangers stay on their side of the lake, I'll let them live. But if they cross the water, they'll meet my blade.
Until she does it.
Chloe Monroe is the first trespasser in sixty years that I don't want to kill. And I think, at first, it'll be fine. That I don't have to hurt anyone.
I just hope I can keep the urges quiet.
I just hope I don't follow the pull of the killing moon-
Right to her back door.
