Darling You're Next - A Novel

“If you’re not bleeding honey, it isn’t love”

From the author of When She Was Me comes a dark feminist thriller perfect for fans of Tell Me Lies about a woman who meets the perfect man, only to find out that he might have murdered his ex-girlfriend—and that she might be next

If you aren't bleeding honey, it isn't love...

Maren Kemp doesn't believe in love. Life taught her better. But when a kind stranger helps her at her lowest point, something shifts; and when he reappears days later in her grief group, the coincidence feels inevitable.

Topher Kowalski is patient, attentive – the kind of man who understands loss and makes Maren feel seen again. For the first time in what feels like forever, she wonders if healing might be possible.

Then it begins. Similar habits. Similar memories. The same eerie parallels to Topher's late fiancée, Abby: a woman who died in a fall that never quite made sense…

Abby once believed she'd found perfect love in Topher. Until everything changed…

Past and present begin to blur. Two women. One man. One story with too many gaps.

Because the closer Maren gets to the truth, the more it feels like she isn't starting a new love story. She's stepping into someone else's ending.

And this time, she's next.
