Wren You can tell a lot about a person by their heart. I should know, I’ve been collecting them in jars for eight years. Except, one is missing. The one. My insatiable need for love, the kind that fills the broken chasms of my past, leads me to Raya. She is everything I am not—tender, wild, and forgiving. Her broken heart demands satisfaction, and I will do anything to fix it. Even if it means giving myself up to be with her in Somnolent Asylum for the Criminally Insane. After all, I can’t jar a heart that does not yet belong to me. Raya There are three rules my doctor gave me when Wren became an inmate at Somnolent Asylum. 1. Don’t talk to Wren Acres 2. Don’t get too close to Wren Acres 3. And never fall in love with Wren Acres I'm about to break all three, but I’m not afraid. How can I be when he looks at me as if I am the most beautiful thing in the world? I know he’s killed people, but he promises he won’t hurt me. As I delve deeper into his dark games, the line between predator and prey blurs. With every encounter, I become more entangled in his web of desire and death. Until I can think of nothing and no one but him. If only he realized how dangerous that is. This is a dark romance with magic realism. It is not a romance where the MMC ends up redeeming himself and renouncing his dark ways. Wren is a sociopath and a serial killer. In real life you should run far, far away from anyone like him. However, this isn’t real, and we love a fictional psycho with tattoos who wants to both kiss and strangle the FMC.
