By Adrian Crow
Genre: Horror › Dark Fantasy Horror
Detective Rowan Styles has spent years hunting monsters disguised as men, never realizing that real monsters have been living beside her all along. When a string of ritualistic murders leads Rowan to The Crimson Room, an exclusive private club whispered about among the city’s wealthy and powerful, she discovers a hidden society where vampires, werewolves, sirens, and ancient creatures exist beneath their own brutal system of laws. Behind its velvet curtains, the powerful feed freely while those considered lesser are controlled, punished, and sacrificed to preserve the secrecy of their world. As Rowan’s investigation draws her deeper into the club, the killer begins leaving clues meant specifically for her, including references to Wren, the secret identity she uses while pursuing dangerous desires far outside her carefully controlled life. The only person who may understand what is happening is Sebastian Chambers, an elegant and terrifying vampire noble whose restraint makes him every bit as dangerous as his hunger. But Sebastian was present on the night Rowan’s family was murdered, and he has been hiding the truth from her ever since. Beneath The Crimson Room, something older than every monster species is beginning to awaken. Known as The First Hunger, it has been feeding on guilt, fear, shame, and desire for centuries, and Rowan’s blood may be the key to setting it free. To stop the murders and expose the corruption ruling the hidden world, Rowan must confront the truth about her past, reclaim the parts of herself she has been taught to fear, and decide whether Sebastian is her greatest threat or the only creature she can trust. Because Rowan didn’t simply find The Crimson Room. It has been waiting for her.
