Watching her and Wayne, he discovers something that could get him closer to his new obsession. Being able to go unseen, he learns of the things hidden in the dark. The life that Shanique and Wayne lived slowly starts to change as they try to get comfortable in their new space. Secrets are revealed from the dark corners of hearts haunted by their own sin.

Chilling

I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for what would happen, especially since I’m somewhat scary. Lol The story was great, although I wanted to shake Shanique at first. As it got closer to the end, I wanted to give Wayne an uppercut. Jimmy was so mysterious and had me a little shook, because I didn’t know what he was going to do. Really good story, T!

This was a fantastic short novel. The characters were interesting. Jimmy's backstory was sad and interesting. The story was developed and well organized. Granted you knew who or what Jimmy was, it was still an entertaining ride to the end.
