Publisher’s Summary
When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls went missing in her small Louisiana town. By the end of the summer, her own father had confessed to the crimes and was put away for life, leaving Chloe and the rest of her family to grapple with the truth and try to move forward while dealing with the aftermath.
Now twenty years later, Chloe is a psychologist in Baton Rouge and getting ready for her wedding. While she finally has a fragile grasp on the happiness she’s worked so hard to achieve, she sometimes feels as out of control of her own life as the troubled teens who are her patients. So when a local teenage girl goes missing, and then another, that terrifying summer comes crashing back. Is she paranoid, seeing parallels from her past that aren’t actually there, or for the second time in her life, is Chloe about to unmask a killer?

Review: A Flicker In The Dark
I kept hearing the buzz about this debut psychological thriller—already optioned for a series by Emma Stone—and I was skeptical. But the hype? Completely deserved.
This book delivers. A serial killer, an unreliable narrator, and some seriously twisted characters make for an addictive read. The writing is fantastic—haunting, immersive, and beautifully crafted. The dual timelines flow seamlessly, and the eerie, vivid descriptions had me feeling everything.
The story follows Chloe Davis, a psychologist with a dark past—her father was convicted as a serial killer when she was 12. Now, 20 years later, girls are going missing again. With her father behind bars, who’s responsible? A copycat? Someone she trusts? As she spirals into doubt and paranoia, the twists keep coming.
I thought I had it figured out so many times, but the ending? Absolutely killer. Dark, shocking, and so satisfying. If you love psychological thrillers, don’t miss this one. It’s that good. 🔥

Book Quotes
There are so many subtle ways we women subconsciously protect ourselves throughout the day; protect ourselves from shadows, from unseen predators. From cautionary tales and urban legends. So subtle, in fact, that we hardly even realize we’re doing them.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that, in the process, he does not become a monster. If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
― Stacy Willingham, A Flicker in the Dark
When people get hurt physically, you can see it in the bruises and the scars, but when they’re hurt emotionally, mentally, it runs deeper than that. You can see every sleepless night in the reflection of their eyes; you can see every tear stained into their cheeks, every bout of anger etched into the creases in their foreheads. The thirst for blood cracking the skin on their lips.
