"You'll most likely be the end of me someday, and I don't even mind." I should have been paying attention. I should have felt him coming, sensed his pull before it was too late. But people like Harlan McCandles don't walk into your life-they seep in, unnoticed, until they're everywhere. His hooks are still in me, beneath my skin, so deep I can't pull them out without tearing myself apart.

An Artist's Obsession. A Woman's Undoing.

How far would one go for self-expression?

Harlan McCandles is a master of color, a virtuoso of form. But beneath the art professor's facade lies a darker palette of history. When a married Patience Okoye steps into his world, she becomes Harlan's latest fixation. But as their lessons deepen, the compulsion to keep her under his thumb increases. Patience begins to notice strange habits, including a repetition of pet names he has for her. While with a stroke of a brush, Harlan slowly paints her life with manipulation and chaos. What will the final brush stroke reveal when simply being his inspiration doesn't suffice?

Dive into unsettling fiction: a twisted narrative of psychological power dynamics building to a thrilling conclusion. Follow Patience on her journey to escape Harlan's clutches and watch as the suspense bleeds through the pages.

For His Muse Only Reviews

4.5
“This was an Indie Author Tuesday read for me and let me say, it was a doozy! Let me preface my review with the author Ada Afam was in my live as I read the whole time. Man this book started off a bit unhinged, then we got a bit of a back story, current events, and a small future glimpse. When I tell you my emotions were all over the place... I was mad, sad, side eyeing characters, laughing, shocked, mad all over again, etc. I have questions for Mrs. Afam and she was giving me nothing! But I'm glad she didn't. If you are in need of a psychological thriller, run and pick this one up! It had me on my toes from beginning to end. You won't be sorry! Happy Reading!”
“This book started off slow and then once it hit you it took a turn! The characters were written great and very believable. I absolutely loved how the author reeled me in with each plot.”
