Cruel Malady: A Necrosis of the Mind

The complete Necrosis of the Mind Duet. An enemies-to-lovers romance that explores the darkest chasm of the mind to discover what makes our dark hearts tick. Cameo appearances from London and Grayson from the Darkly, Madly Duet.

I was born a psychopath, but he made me a killer.

Blakely: Revenge is a lucrative business, and for a psychopath with zero empathy to inhibit her, it’s more than profitable, it’s how I achieve that elusive adrenaline rush.

My life is structured. Controlled. Then he botches one of my jobs. Alex is intelligent, sexy. He’s a buttoned-up scientist looking for thrills.

And I never saw him coming.

His deception was flawless. He used my vain nature against me to lure me into his trap. His fixation has spiraled into a deadly obsession with me—and now I’m at the mercy to a mad scientist whose cruel experiment shatters my mind.

Revenge is my ethos.

And I vow to have my revenge on Dr. Alex Chambers.

Alex: The ticking of the clock is the soundtrack to my life, counting down the precious seconds I have left to discover an antidote. My hunt for the perfect subject leads me to her, and oh, she’s a beautiful revelation.

I want her. I need her.

Blakely’s malady is death to her mind. And against society’s laws and even the very laws of nature itself, I bring her necrotic, unfeeling humanity to life.

I may have gone mad in the process, and after numerous failed attempts, my body count is stacking. I’ve attracted the attention of the infamous Angel of Maine serial killer.

But my sacrifice is worth it, worth her—my lovely creation. It’s even worth her exacting revenge on me, the villainous prince of her dark fairy tale.

If this is my end, there are far worse ways to die than at the hands of my beautiful monster.
