Synopsis

Where mystery meets romance... —Excerpt— We lay next to each other, both of us not saying a thing, but I feel comfortable. I don’t have the impulse to have to talk to him to avoid an awkward silence because it has never been awkward with Ash, I realise. “You asleep?” he whispers to me. “Nope,” I reply quietly. “It’s weird because my body is so tired but I can’t seem to shut my brain off.” “Me neither,” he says. I hear the crackling of the fresh sheet under us move and realise Ash has turned to face me. “Uhm, what?” I ask dubiously. “Nothing, I’m just trying to find a comfortable position.” “Okay,” I say as I stare at him in the dim glow of the candles. Ash stares back at me, his hand lifts to push away a strand of hair that has fallen into my eyes, then he closes his eyes. He is asleep in the next moment, with his hand frozen on my cheek. Usually, with anyone else, I would push his hand away because it feels wrong and uncomfortable. But his caress felt good against the slight burn on my skin. And as he rests his hand on my cheek, I can’t help but think about how no one has ever held me close to them and makes me feel this way. Even though Ash and I are far from holding each other close, just a touch of his hand comforts me in ways that others’ hugs have tried and failed. Without much thinking, I push Ash’s fallen hair out of his eyes and rest my hand against his cheek. In the next moment, as my eyes start to droop, I feel a pull of his cheek against my palm and realise he is smiling. —————————————————————————————————————————— When an apartment building is plagued by a strange substance in its water, its residents uncover a foreboding mystery that will perish them all. With a deadly fog that blocks their escape, they must now forget their differences and work together to overcome the horrifying events that ultimately threaten their survival.

Can’t believe I’m doing this but here goes... Shameless author here! 🥰 I’ve worked so hard on this particular piece of literature so I need this to gain more recognition! I believe once you start reading you won’t be able to stop (not to toot my own horn but I mean *shrug* it ain’t a lie). If you enjoy adventurous mystery with A LOT of romance then this is the book for you! Pleace take the time to review and maybe even give ** (?) Hahaha 🧡

This book is different than any I’ve ever read before because it plays in a mixture of both mystery and romance. I love how the character’s histories play a part in the reasons why they live in this building. Keep up the good work!

Really surprised by the uniqueness of the overall concept and the storyline itself. I very much enjoy the interactions between the characters and how the author vividly described their physical attributes and personalities. I like how each is being given spotlight. Just be careful with the punctuation marks as they affect the fluidity of the story, but that's just a minor detail. It's really a great read! Good start as well. Keep it up, author!

The fact that every person has their own personality gives the story a really interesting path. Especially in this place where two-sided overpowered characters reign supreme, it's a great change of pace when you actually feel like the character runs the story, not the author.
