WATCH OVER ME

WATCH OVER ME

Small. Feral. Unrepentant. Ricky is Coming June 3rd!

Here is what Maren Rodriguez will tell you about Ricky, if you ask her, and sometimes if you don't:

He arrived looking like a suggestion of a raccoon. Barely fur. Barely breathing. Eyes sealed shut, one foot half-destroyed, small enough that Luna's whole heart fit around him with room to spare.

Within twenty-four hours he’s copping a feel.

Within a week he’s got his hands and his face down both Luna and Maren’s shirts

By month two he’s mastered the sports bra.

And by the time the wolf arrives at Luna’s door, he’s motorboated Maren and an intern.

Watch Over Me is the prequel novella to the Watched in Darkness series, and it is, technically, a love story. Just not the one you were expecting.

June 3rd is the day.. This is Ricky's story.

... Read moreAs someone who enjoys exploring complex romance narratives, I was immediately drawn to the unique character of Ricky in "Watch Over Me." This prequel novella offers a fascinating glimpse into the origins of the dark and twisted relationships that define the Watched in Darkness series. Ricky’s depiction as a small, feral figure resembling a raccoon, complete with unsettling boundaries and an intense presence, adds a raw and unpredictable energy to the story. What stood out to me was how the narrative balances elements of dark romance and psychological tension with a deeply personal look at Ricky’s early days and his impact on those around him, particularly Luna and Maren. The novella doesn't shy away from exploring themes of desire and obsession, framed within the context of dark, stalker romance. This fresh perspective provides a nuanced view of Ricky’s character—not just as a predator but as someone whose story is integral to understanding the broader saga. For readers intrigued by dark romance with a twist, the use of vivid descriptions—such as Ricky mastering the sports bra and his audacious interactions—creates a memorable character that defies typical romantic tropes. This book is perfect for fans eager to uncover the backstory before diving into the main series. Plus, the June 3rd release date means you have time to pre-order and prepare for a chilling and fascinating read. If you're looking to enrich your reading list with a novella that combines suspense, unconventional love stories, and psychologically complex characters, "Watch Over Me" promises to deliver. The blend of suspense and intimate storytelling creates a compelling atmosphere that keeps you engaged from start to finish.
