about the book
A serial killer stalks a small town, and a police officer must face her family’s dark past to catch him.
The sleepy community of Kenorapeake Falls in northern Ontario seems like somewhere Constable Oaklynn Brock can finally outrun her violent past. That is, until she’s assigned to investigate a series of suspicious deaths. She can’t reveal that she knows how serial killers think because she grew up with one. Yet the eerie similarities between these murders and those committed by her father, known as the Suicide Slayer, hint at a copycat in their midst. But why here and why now?
Caleb Greene of the Canadian Watchers Squad, a special task force, has his own reasons to be wary of working alongside Oaklynn. But with rumors of a local cult known as the Light Paragons gaining power, the stakes are too high to refuse.
As they explore connections between the killings and cult, Oaklynn and Caleb are forced to confront old secrets… and a terrifying new threat. Someone is watching Oaklynn’s every move. They know exactly who she is and what she might be capable of. And soon her biggest fear isn’t just having her past exposed, but that a killer will turn whatever days she has left into a living nightmare…

excerpt
A blonde doll lay by the tree. Its severed head sat beside it with a note pinned to the doll’s black dress.
Go home, Watcher. Or she dies.
He flashed his light on the reddened ground and choked in a breath.
Blood had turned the snow crimson.
A gust of wind whipped around the house’s corner, stinging his face and sending a wave of terror throughout his body. His chest tightened as a question ripped through his brain.
Which she was the note referring to? Lilly, Mic or Oaklynn?
A coyote howled in the distance, as if responding to Caleb’s unspoken question.
Tension strangled his muscles as his heartbeat ratcheted up and he puffed out a ragged breath.
Briggs barked.
Caleb pivoted and scanned his sister’s property line.
A shadow skulked along the fence.
Caleb’s tactical skills emerged, and he tightened his grip on the shotgun, raising it with determination fresh on his mind.
He wouldn’t lose another loved one. He’d protect the she even if it cost him his own life.
