The Evil Around Us: A Monstrous Why-Choose Romance (The Shadeport Hermetica Book 2)

Kenz thought the nightmare ended when her father was defeated and Delonna was silenced. She finally has a moment to breathe, focusing on her studies at Shadeport and deepening her bond with Alec and Lucas. But the peace is a fragile illusion. A haunting presence stalks her shadow, her father’s voice still echoes in her mind, and a string of gruesome murders targeting girls who look just like her suggests that the danger was never truly gone.

This gripping installment of the Shadeport Hermetica series masterfully blends chilling ghost story elements with the high-stakes drama of an academy setting. As Kenz struggles to understand the unsettling changes in her Ghoul, she finds herself dangerously drawn to the forbidden secrets hidden within Delonna’s ancient book. The power dynamics shift, and the lines between protector and monster blur as the trio realizes they are being hunted by something far more sinister than they imagined.

If you are craving a paranormal romance that delivers dark, atmospheric tension and a complex why-choose dynamic, this is your next obsession. Dive back into the shadows of Shadeport, where the darkness you have already accepted is only the beginning of a much deadlier game.
