She can't deny her urges any more than she can deny him…There's no walking away from the thrill of the kill.No turning your back on who you are at your core.At least, that's what Besnick says.Zayah thinks that's bullshit.It's exactly what she's determined to do.No matter what she's done with him, she's intent on starting a new life and proving she's better than her past, better than what he insists she is.Yet small-town living and "normal" life is harder than Zayah ever imagined.The monotony…The boredom…The people…The urges that won't go away…Zayah needs a distraction…or two.Her friend Nova offers her an outlet for some of her desires.A mystery man from the internet does for others…But nothing can quell the most base of her needs.No one knows who she really is at her core.And she has no idea what's hiding behind the mask….
