The most terrifying monsters aren’t found in dreams …

Four young socialites have gone missing in the Chicago area. Two found dead, bearing the signature marks of a brutal serial killer. With the kind of tragedy that mars Nola Tensley’s past, she should be concerned, but without a pot to piss in, all the struggling single mom cares about is making a normal life for her son.

After all, she’s clearly not the murderer’s type.
Or is she?

When Rhett Voss, an enigmatic and handsome stranger, answers her ad for the outdated in-law suite at the back of her property, offering double her asking price, Nola really can’t refuse. Even though the supposed Wall Street Wolf seems better suited for a high-rise downtown—a suspicion that quickly turns into hindsight once she submits to the flirtations of her charming new tenant, and consequently, unearths a series of disturbing revelations.

Her curiosities lead her down the path of a madman, whose moniker, The Sandman, only hints at the grisly nature of his crimes. He’s smart. Evasive. A cunning psychopath with a twisted method of disposing his victims.

And his hunting grounds are hitting too close to home.

Author note: This book contains scenes of graphic sex and violence that some readers may find disturbing.

★4.5 STARS★

Nola Tensley is a single mother who has been knocked to her knees by the experiences she has faced in life. It’s to her testament, and the fierce love for her son, that rises to feet to fight tooth and nail for as best of a life as she can give him.

Money as always is tight but to help ease the burden she has advertised for a lodger to reside in the annex to the back of her home. By nature she is a pessimist but her cup runneth over when she finds a lodger who is eager and willing to pay over her original asking price.

Her out of place, somewhat rude and reclusive lodger is Rhett Voss. He’s dark and sleek and she can’t seem to shake off the something being amiss with him. He reeks of money and luxury, but her instincts are correct when it comes to whiff of danger that hangs in heavy plumes around him.

As readers we are introduced to the man behind the mask with Voss. We know Nola should heed her reservations about him, but yet, knowing his reasons for being there change the game completely. In honesty I didn’t second guess my ease in thinking of him as a dark hero. He’s admittedly frightening, but I must say I shivered for all the wrong reasons.  The story is a perfect balance of danger, exhilaration and fear, wound together tightly with tension that is set to break in spectacular fashion.

Keri Lake is an author whose stories come off the page and play like a reel in the mind. The words fall away with the images she conjures, and the hair-raising sense of anticipation that starts as a prick soon turn into full blown shudders that race down your spine.
