She was the perfect victim. Until she wasn't. Lucia is drowning. Trapped in a soul-crushing job, stifled by a toxic boss, and paralyzed by a crippling anxiety that has left her isolated, she feels like a ghost in her own life. She is the woman no one notices-the shadow that apologizes for existing. When she finally agrees to a date, she hopes for a spark of light. Instead, she finds a predator. Lucia realizes she isn't on a date; she is on a hunt.
And she is the prey. Her date is a cold-blooded serial killer who has done this a dozen times before. He thinks he knows exactly how this night ends. He thinks he has found another broken bird to crush. But he didn't count on one thing: Anxiety is just another word for adrenaline with nowhere to go. Something long-buried within Lucia finally snaps. As the hunter closes in, the roles begin to shift.
Lucia is about to discover that she has a terrifying capacity for violence-and that in this game of survival, she is no longer the victim. On this road, there is no mercy. No help. And No Way Back. A gripping, gritty, and atmospheric psychological thriller perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and stories where the prey turns into the ultimate predator.
