A darkly funny contemporary thriller with echoes of Promising Young Woman, Donnie Darko and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
When a boy in her town starts claiming that a demon is stalking him - Alecto Gray has no choice but to investigate. After all, that's exactly what her brother Lucas said, right before he died...
Soon, Alecto's investigation leads her to a far-reaching conspiracy - with two warring factions at its heart - as she uncovers a sinister underbelly to her small seaside town.
Armed only with her razor-sharp wit and a talent for getting into trouble, Alec endures threats and kidnappings, and even the spark of a new romance, in order to get to the truth.
But can she handle the truth or will the twisted darkness at the heart of the mystery destroy her as well?
