He arrived at two weeks old. Barely breathing. Small enough to fit in Luna Foster's palm.
He woke up and grabbed her collar.
It went downhill from there. Gloriously, chaotically, irreversibly downhill.
Before the stalker. Before the bodies. Before the dangerous masked stranger building his obsession next door in a Victorian murder house — there was Ricky. Silver-furred. Black-masked. Confident to the point of pathological. And absolutely, unapologetically, architecturally obsessed with boobs.
Luna called it attachment-seeking behavior. Maren called it what it was.
Watch Over Me is the prequel novella to the Watched in Darkness series. The origin story of Sage & Summit's most notorious resident, told through chaos, laughter, sleepless two AM feedings, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you while a raccoon is motorboating your best friend.
The darkness is coming. But not yet.
The chaos started long before the wolf arrived next door.

As someone who enjoys dark romance with a twist, "Watch Over Me" offers a refreshing blend of humor and heartfelt moments that really stood out to me. The portrayal of Ricky, the silver-furred raccoon with boundary issues, adds a unique layer of charm to the story, making the animal almost a main character in its own right. This isn’t your typical romance novella; it vividly captures the 'found family' theme that sneaks up on you, giving a warm counterbalance to the dark and suspenseful elements that follow. The novella's ability to blend chaos with love is something I personally appreciate. The sleepless two AM feedings and the hilarious attachment-seeking behavior of Ricky bring an authentic feel to the narrative, reminiscent of real-life experiences with pets that unexpectedly become central to our lives. This prequel expertly sets the stage for the more intense events in the Watched in Darkness series, providing backstory and character depth that enrich the overall experience for readers. What I particularly enjoyed is the slowburn development of relationships, something that fans of the genre will find rewarding. The contrast between the light-hearted moments involving raccoons and the looming dark storm adds tension and keeps you hooked. For readers who love stories with complex dynamics, including best friends willing to risk everything for each other, this novella is an excellent pick. Given the elements of humor, suspense, and emotional connection, "Watch Over Me" is more than just a prequel; it's an origin story that reveals the chaos and laughter that precede darkness. If you're intrigued by serial killer romance themes but appreciate a story that also knows how to balance the mood with quirky, relatable touches, this novella should definitely be on your reading list. Pre-order it now to get a taste of a story where love, persistence, and even raccoons with boundary issues play crucial roles.
