Synopsis
When darkness wants to claim you, do you run or do you step into the light, daring it to catch you?
Forensic Pathologist, Harper-Rayn, is no stranger to darkness. She has seen it all in the cold silence of Blackstone’s one and only morgue, revealing the mystery of death on her autopsy table—until the bodies start speaking to her in eerie, calculated ways.
When corpses begin to reveal chilling, hidden messages meant only for her, she realizes she’s been playing a twisted game she never intended to play. The game intrigues her, drawing her in, but if she takes one wrong step, it’s game over.
The line between fear and obsession wavers, shifting this game from one of desire into a terrifying, murderous lust, the strings being pulled by a cryptic masked killer with one unforgiving intention—to claim her as his own, dead or alive.
The shadows are real. The fear is crippling. But the lust is wild and ferocious.
Fear sends her spiraling into the arms of the delicious SWAT team leader, Knight Slater. He’s everything she’s ever desired, but everything she shouldn’t want. He’s more than off limits. He’s her step-uncle, but she draws him in, and protecting her becomes more than just duty. It becomes a relentless need.
As this deadly game tightens around them, Harper must decide: Is she ready to risk it all for her heart and put everything on the line, or will she literally die trying?
The HIDE AND SEEK Duet is a pitch-black stalker romance and is suitable for mature readers.

My Review
𝐀𝐑𝐂 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.... BLACK ROSE STALKER STARS
°❀⋆.ೃ࿔* 𝖧𝖨𝖣𝖤 𝖠𝖭𝖣 𝖲𝖤𝖤𝖪 °❀⋆.ೃ࿔* Is the first full length pitch black stalker romance in the (Hide & Seek) duet by author Sheridan Anne. Spoken in dual pov’s. The story follows Harper-Rayn & Knight
Did someone say ↠ Pitch - black stalker romance !?! ← Seeing that tagline and the author there was no way I wasn't going to sign up..
WTF 🤬 did I just read!?! 0800therapy!!
God where to even start! This is going to be one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever had to write up. This gave me whiplash, I never knew what was going to happen next, a few times I thought I’d guessed who it was only to be blindsided. Twists and turns which moved faster than any roller coaster I’ve ever come across. Had me reeling in its wake.
Harper-Rayn is in her element, in a job she loves, working towards becoming a forensic pathologist whilst completing her residency at Blackstone Private Hospital. Cutting to the chase, she performs autopsies for a living. With a huge amount of crime at Blackstone there's always an abundance of the dead to work on..She prefers to work the midnight shift, the music cranked up, getting into her zone. Until one night as she's writing up a report a prickly crawly feeling overcame her, chills down the spine where she felt like she was being watched. Then the bodies started turning up with cryptic messages carved into their bodies which she had to decipher.
Now onto Knight..Harper's step-uncle. He's top of his field as a Swat officer in the country. He's always been attracted to Harper but has never stepped over the line of no return. Until she rings him in a panic and he becomes entangled within her web, as he strives to protect her from a stalker the lines become blurred between them.

This book had me flabbergasted, I never knew what was going to come at me next. Throughout I kept repeating god when is she going to catch a break, all for it to come tumbling down in a clusrerf#ck of a twist. And just when I think all is right in this world, I’m thrown over a cliffy. I had it in the back of my mind one would appear being that it’s a duet, but to this extent, that ending was a doozy!
I’ve probably encountered my fair share of dark books along my journey of reading, so for me I’m pretty much desensitised, this for me had some pretty disturbing gritty parts but not pitch black, but for others check those triggers.
Only an author can come up with a storyline like this! Oh and the character art thrown haphazardly throughout this book was truly stunning and made for such a pleasurable reading experience.. loved, loved, loved it…
