by Autumn L. Belle

Veronica

I’ve been obsessed with everything morbid ever since my parents were brutally murdered when I was a kid. That led me to my chosen career as a Forensic Autopsy Technician. And starting work with the Medical Examiner’s Office is what changed everything for me.

My job is where I met Felix Drakos. He’s witty, charming, and his soul is just as dark as mine. But here’s where the complication comes in, my masked stalker, V. It’s time for me to find out if Felix and V are the same person, and if they’re not, I need to make a decision that will change my life forever.



Felix

Five years ago my little sister was attacked by a monster, and the law did nothing to help her. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and start my little hobby of vigilante justice. My hobby led me to my dream girl, Veronica Woods. But what will she do when she finds out what I spend my nights doing?

I want her to be my everything, and I’ll do anything to make it happen. I’ll even hunt down the person who killed her parents. And if I have to, I’ll hunt Veronica too.

I ate this up so quickly! It’s dexter meets masked man meets goth. This is 100% up my alley and I loved the main characters! Their best friends only added to the plot and made the book better. I love how Felix evolves after meeting Ronnie and I love how relatable and real Ronnie is. Add this to your list ASAP!

Autumn L. Belle creates a world where love is sharp-edged and justice wears a mask. Veronica’s grief-fueled obsession with death leads her into Felix’s world, a man who hides more secrets than bodies. The story is a haunting mix of forensic grit and intense romantic tension. By the end, I was questioning who the real monster was, and loving every second of it.

Hooks you right away! The MMC definitely has a Dexter feel to him. This story definitely kept me on my toes. I had two moments where I audibly said “Oh shit!” It’s a little short, but it’s a great read.
