He loves her too much to kill her. That’s what makes her dangerous.
When thirteen-year-old Jeremiah goes frog hunting in rural Ohio, he stumbles upon something he was never meant to see. In that moment, something inside him fractures, quietly, permanently. The boy who comes home is not the one who left.
Loss follows. Then isolation. Then the slow erosion of right and wrong.
As Jeremiah grows, so does the darkness living inside him, patient, persuasive, impossible to silence. He learns how it feels to give in. How power hums beneath the skin. How control is an illusion that tastes like freedom. When he finally embraces his deepest urges, an entire world opens to him… one that begins to consume him from the inside out.
Then he meets Victoria.
She disrupts the careful order of his darkness. She awakens something dangerously close to hope. Jeremiah tells himself she might save him, but love has never stopped a monster before.
How long can he hold back what he’s become?
And when the darkness finally wins, will there be anything left of the boy who once existed?
If you crave dark, unsettling psychological suspense, The K will pull you into the unraveling mind of a serial killer and refuse to let go. This is not a story about redemption. It’s about obsession, inevitability, and the terrifying question of whether love can survive evil or only delay it.
