The hunted becomes the hunter in this ferocious tale of atonement ideal for readers who connected with the issues of grooming and trauma raised by novels like My Dark Vanessa, Age of Consent, and Trust Exercise. This carefully plotted thriller flips the narrative and eviscerates the notion that a powerful man may simply apologize for his transgressions. Told in dual timelines that collide in a shocking conclusion, Dark Things I Adore paints a deliciously dark picture of ambition, narcissism, and revenge set deep in the Maine wilderness where a brilliant art student’s masterful final thesis will blow her professor’s mind. She isn’t the first student to capture his interest outside the lecture hall, but after a carefully planned weekend at her luxe private home, she intends to be the last.
