Are You Afraid of Ghosts?
A Dark Slasher Romance Full of Twisted Love, Bone-chilling Secrets, and Icy Revenge. Seven years ago, Harley's life was ripped apart by the one man she swore to love forever. That night left scars deeper than anyone can see- and the nightmares haven't stopped since.
Now, Harley is trying to rebuild. Enter charming, attentive, everything she thought she wanted. But fairy tales don't last forever. When a cozy holiday getaway turns into a trap, Harley finds herself surrounded by Jared and his manipulative family- people who will stop at nothing to make her disappear.
But something- or someone- is watching.
As a snowstorm seals them off from the world, terrifying events begin to unfold. One by one, secrets are exposed and blood is spilled. Harley isn't the only one haunted by the past... and vengeance wears a ghostly face.
Sinister, seductive, and packed with slasher thrills, this is a dark romance where love and horror bleed together.
--Synopsis--
Seven years ago, Harley's life was shattered by a night of unspeakable horror- and the wound still runs deep.
Now, caught in a toxic relationship with Jared, a man eager to end things, she hopes a winter getaway to his family's remote mountain lodge will give her the final push of courage to break free. But Jared and his cold, manipulative mother have darker plans- they want Harley gone... permanently.
Snowed in and isolated, with no escape, Harley faces more than just their cruelty. Someone is watching- a ghost obsessed with her. When the killer discovers Jared and his mother's deadly scheme, their twisted love for Harley turns violent, protecting her by eliminating anyone who stands in the way.
As bodies fall and terror closes in, Harley must confront the darkest chapter of her past. Because some ghosts never rest... and some love turns lethal.
A dark, psychological slasher romance where obsession turns protective, and the line between savior and killer disappears in the snow .
The Fox & The Slasher is a first-person, dual POV.
A winter holiday with my fiancé and his parents.
While I wasn't thrilled about the whole ordeal, I wasn't expecting there to be bloodshed and horrors waiting for me around every turn.
I feel someone watching me, making me feel like I'm going crazy. And then I hear his voice, and that goddamn nickname he's given me.
Fuck- I know who he is, but... it's impossible.
I killed him.It's been years since I've seen my Fox.
And now she's replaced me with some no-good asshole with a couple of rich fucks as parents.
She should know better than to try and forget me.
I'm her ghost, and I'll never leave her.

I loved this twisted, winter slasher so much! It was quick and very entertaining right from the start, with lots of satisfying endings! This psychological thriller is all the bad things that could go wrong on a winter cabin trip with your shitty in laws .. and also some things that could go right trapped with people you hate. Not to mention a ghost haunting you're every move!
It was spooky, gory and oh so spicy!
Like a crazy fever dream came to life!
the little nugget that I adored was the fact that ths MMC is also from Ontario, like me! I love any books that mention my home 🇨🇦
thank you C. Dailey for the opportunity for this ARC, i enjoyed every minute of it !

Wow!! All Harley wanted was to start over, have a fresh beginning and her past just couldn’t stay in the past. This is a fast paced, super spicy, masked man dark romance. C. Dailey knows how to write a dark romance and really pull you in, you feel the emotions as you read them! I loved this book! Read it immediately!!

Understand this has a few triggers. And its a little dark. It is a quick read but it's a good one!
Harley thought her past was behind her but someone came back that she didn't expect. And when her soon to be ex-fiance has plans that aren't with good intentions, things get crazy. Because someone isn't going to let anyone hurt Harley.

This author always writes incredibly twisted books that leave you questioning whether to feel proud of finishing or to wonder what's wrong with you. They are so captivating! I read this one in a single sitting and couldn’t determine who the true villains were or who was sane versus insane.
