Where Does It Hurt?: A Psychological Thriller

by Rowan Aubert

A deadly experiment. A fan too close. A pop star on the edge. With secrets this dangerous, murder is only part of the plan.I used to be adored by millions. Now, I can’t even look in the mirror without seeing the enemy staring back. The sprawling mansion, the endless accolades, the flawless skin I was famous for... none of it matters anymore. My doctor says it’s nothing, but I know the truth. It’s cancer. And it’s spreading.

Lila Mici has always been my most loyal fan. Her devotion is absolute, and when I invite her into my home, she doesn’t hesitate. It’s perfect. She’ll do whatever I ask, and she has something I desperately perfect skin. All I have to do is make her believe this experiment is harmless.

But Lila’s not as innocent as she seems. There’s something she’s hiding, something that could ruin everything. I can feel it lurking beneath her admiration, in the way she watches me when she thinks I’m not looking. And as the days slip by, I start to wonder… who’s really in control here?

3.5. This was a crazy book. The concept was so wild but interesting. I enjoyed the ending also! Super dark and disturbing.
