"You look ravishing tonight, darling," Vincent cooed, his voice a silken caress that sent shivers down Elena's spine - not of pleasure, but of dread. "Almost pretty enough to be the subject of a fascinating case study." Dr. Elena Sinclair, a brilliant private psychologist, knew all too well the darkness that resided within her boyfriend, Vincent Blackwood. The way his gaze lingered a little too long on strangers, the chillingly detached way he spoke about violence in their sessions - it all painted a horrifying portrait of a monster in disguise. When a string of murders with Vincent's signature brutality starts plaguing the city, Elena finds herself trapped in a twisted game of love and terror. By day, she analyzes the profile of a killer; by night, she sleeps beside the prime suspect. The evidence points undeniably to Vincent, but can she bring herself to expose the man she loves, even as the body count rises? Love or justice? In 'The Abyss Beckons,' Elena must confront the terrifying truth: the monster she's been studying isn't a stranger in a file, but the man whispering sweet nothings in her ear. As the line between obsession and psychosis blurs, Elena has a chilling choice to make - save herself from the psychopath she loves, or become his next subject of fascination. #1 Intrigue!!!!!!
