She came to the edge of the world to find a husband. She found a man who would never let her go.
Stranded by a blizzard and taken in by the wrong stranger, Genevieve knows something about Atticus isn’t right. He’s too careful. Too smart. Too comfortable with isolation—and too intense in the way he looks at her, like she’s already his. What should terrify her only pulls her deeper.
Atticus doesn’t understand love. But he understands possession. And when Genevieve starts to uncover the truth about who he really is, he gives her a stay and become his… or walk away, and face the disastrous consequences.
In a storm of obsession, secrets, and forbidden desire, Genevieve begins to wonder if Fate brought her to this man’s door for a reason. Because the scariest part isn’t that she’s trapped with a killer. It’s that she might not want to leave.
Please be aware the first 2 books in this trilogy both end on a cliffhanger, but the completed trilogy will end with a HEA.
If you crave unhinged antiheroes, dangerous obsession, and slow-burning tension wrapped in high spice and psychological warfare, Soul to Possess will take you there—and then deeper. Perfect for fans of Sparrow by L.J. Shen, Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton, and Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann, this dark romance blends innocence with depravity, emotional ruin with irresistible kink. Featuring kidnapping, close proximity, forbidden attraction, and a morally black antihero with a God complex, this is not a love story. It’s a descent—beautiful, brutal, and utterly addictive.
The story follows Gennie ("Bluebell"), who finds herself stranded during a blizzard and ends up in the isolated cabin of Atticus Montgomery—a brooding, enigmatic man who isn’t just dangerous… he’s a killer. He murders people and turns their bodies into art.
And yet, after finding out the truth Gennie doesn’t run and as their connection deepens, Gennie is trapped between her growing desire and the chilling knowledge of who Atticus really is. She has chances to leave, to use a safe word, to fight—but she doesn’t. Whether it’s survival or something darker inside her, she starts to submit to him emotionally and psychologically.
Atticus isn’t portrayed as redeemable—he's a self-aware monster who believes Gennie is the only person too beautiful to destroy. That becomes the twisted core of their relationship: she’s the one person he won’t turn into a "masterpiece," because she already is.

Atticus is walking red flag yet so dangerously alluring
Adams pulled me back into the dark world of the Artmaker and his prize piece that is too beautiful for him to make into a form of art.
Gennie discovers and battles with the dark submissive side that is all her while trying to resist the force of nature that is Atticus. The push, pull, suspense and spice are all top notch within the pages…watching these two characters’ personalities unfold. Gennie has fight within her and Atticus sees it. He doesn’t try to subdue it, I see him harnessing it and teaching her without her even realizing.
With the epic cliffhanger at the end of this one, i can’t wait to see what happens between these two. This queen of an author has me in a chokehold and i am not complaining one bit. Atticus and Gennie jump off the pages and the surprises are ones i don’t see coming. Adams is an author that I can see great things coming from her and this series is proof.
