**Instant *NYT *Bestseller* * ***USA Today *Bestseller* * **Viral Booktok Sensation* * The Manipulator I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don’t affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He’s always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow I didn’t mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can’t stay away. I’m mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. The way she undresses… I’ll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I’ll never let her go. Not even when she begs me to. **While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, *Satan’s Affair* , first.** Author’s Note: **This book ends on a cliffhanger.
