Until the Shadows Claim Her - Amber Thoma

Running from a past that refuses to loosen its grip, Celest’s escape comes to a halt on a deserted road, her car dying in the middle of a cold, relentless downpour. Stranded and desperate for shelter, she finds herself drawn to a looming gothic estate hidden in the dark. But stepping inside is her first mistake. Three masked men stalk the halls like predators. They tell her to run. To hide. To survive the night. They say she belongs to them now. The manor shifts and breathes like it’s alive, doors moving, shadows whispering secrets she can’t escape. And the longer she plays their twisted games, the more her fear tangles with something far more dangerous—temptation. Because monsters wear many faces. And some of them start to feel like home.
