Synopsis
He is a dark abyss—it should not be so tempting to fall in.
***
To be a Lock is to be a conductor between ordinary and abnormal, between reason and insanity. It is to be a keyhole that lets one peek into the Great Beyond, and a part of the door that opens the world. It is to be sought, and hunted, and seduced by all who crave power.
The magic is unnatural to this world, yet humans still fly towards arcane knowledge like moths towards a flame. Creatures of nightmares prowl just beyond the veil that protects the fragile minds of mortals, taking their pick of helpless prey.
Maya Alvarez has no reasons to think she’s different from other people. No reasons, except for a single incident in her past. All she wants is to write her books and one day, maybe, become famous.
Until her best friend goes missing, and Maya has no choice but to admit—she’s not insane. The world is.
The pair of eyes darker than a starless night falls on Maya, and shadows surround her to never let go.

I'm not big at reading romance, yet it's not a problem to see how far this story goes for myself to enjoy. anyone else that comes across this wonderful book, give a shot, sit back, and read in your free time.
Reading the synopsis made me think, 'Okay, another fl novel with "cold ml and forced romance"' but that's popular with female readers so yeah, it works. What hooked me was the writing quality. It's sublime and immerses a reader. I don't have much time so I only read the prologue but it is enough to tell me that this novel will be doing great in the coming future. Overall, it is highly recommended. And it also got tentacles!

I only read first 5 chapters and my impression from that, this story is not your typical fl story, sure there is cold ml but it's not like in the other stories where this coldness exaggerated in evey chapter like ml spoke and the whole room turned chill or any other typical cliches so that's a good point. but to me the best point is there wasn't any instant falling in love in fl she didn't ack like a lovesick girl the moment she saw him she just thought he is handsome and moved on. about writing quality honestly it's isn't best one out there but it's good it's own way, it perfectly fit this story, i liked the descriptions and details it was vivid and easy to imagine. another best point for this novel is it's Completed so there isn't any waiting or the possibility of the novel dropped. if you're looking for a novel that short and finished i think this is one of the best in this category. it has curious and perfect start you just need to read the first 5 chapter, I'll update my review after finishing and write a whole review for now peace out-WoE-
Crazy good little story! Lots of fun to read, love that our main characters grow together! So many thing to say but I dont want to give anything away! JUST READ IT!
Dangerously addicting, thankfully, it's a shorter, yet still incredibly well written work of art! Otherwise, I would've been up for days and had to spend 50 bucks I don't have, like I usually do *sigh* reading addiction is too real. 😅 Especially with thought-provoking literature! If you're seeing this review, then you just need to take the plunge. You won't regret it! I hope this book gets a LOT more readers!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A haunting ambiance and a very dark and mysterious male lead. The perfect book for those who crave a thrilling combination of horror and romance.
I've never read any novel written in first person present tense but I can tell it is very good just from the first paragraph. It is very intriguing and as an fellow author, your skills are incredible. It starts off with so much suspense that I can't wait to know what the creature was in the prologue!
Plot is interesting. Hoping to see more of this. Grammar isn't that bad and the paragraphs are nicely paced/spaced out and the novel is overall a fun/good read.
A unique name and an intresting story, with the information in sypnosis and the few chaps I read, There is a huge potential in this novel if the pace and quality is matched. weldone author.
The story is interesting. Some phrases need to be rephrased here and there but it doesn't affect the story too dramatically. I'm excited to see where this goes. Keep up the good work author.
I started reading and could do nothing else. Such. a great. book! Secret agencies, science fiction, personal growth, romance, monsters, romance with monsters and time manipulation. Did I mention the humor? This story has everything, including one of the best endings ever.
It’s is an amazing book with awesome storlyline, awesome MC’s.. a new type of storyline different from the usual vampire/ werewolf stuff..ROOTING FOR MAYA AND EZEKEIL..❤️
I'm on the edge of my seat waitin' to see what'll happen next. 😬 The author does an excellent job of keepin' me guessin' and throwin' unexpected twists into the plot. 🤯

This story has everythin' I could want in a romance novel: forbidden love, supernatural elements, and high stakes. 😍🧛♂️🔥 I'm lovin' every minute of it!
Noctis may be a monster, but he's a monster with a heart. 💔 I can't help but root for him and Maya, even though I know their love is a long shot. 🤞😢
I'm emotionally invested in Maya and Noctis' story. ❤️😢 I want them to overcome all the obstacles in their way and find a way to be together, even if the world is against them. 💔🌎
If you're curious enough to search this far into the reviews, then you'll love the book; just bite the bullet and give it a read already! :D
