Frequently asked questions

  • Does this book stand alone or is it part of a series?

    This is the first installment in The Seasons of Carnage trilogy, and unlike some of the author's previous series that feature different couples in each book, this trilogy follows the same central couple throughout the entire narrative.

  • How does the narrative structure handle the central relationship?

    The story is built around a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers dynamic where the protagonists are forced into an uneasy alliance, and readers should be aware that the book concludes on a cliffhanger that carries over into the subsequent volumes of the trilogy.
