Grieving from the death of her father, Dana decides to take a break from online dating. After a chance encounter with a medium predicts that she’ll find love again, a message from an intriguing stranger piques her interest.

Erik Becker is the charming, witty and charismatic stranger who messages her, challenging her to step out of her comfort zone and give love another chance. Dana thinks she’s met her soulmate, but soon realizes that the man of her dreams is not who he seems. What initially begins as a whirlwind romance quickly transforms into something that could lead to dire consequences.

The picture-perfect façade begins to unravel, and as the mask slips, it reveals the real Erik—exposing him as a broken and sadistic monster intent on ruining everything she has created. Their relationship escalates into one of physical violence and psychological warfare. Falling victim to a dangerous game of control and manipulation that could cost her everything. Dana must find a way to escape Erik’s abuse before it’s too late.

Lovvvved it! Definitely recommend 👍👍👍

This book is absolutely a must-read — and not just for those who have gone through similar abuse. I was hooked from the very beginning and ended up binging the whole book late into the night. The writing is so beautifully raw, vulnerable, poignant, and funny. Her reflections and realizations are incredibly astute and wise truths that I’m actually going to write some out and post them on my wall. I’m so appreciative of the fact that this audiobook was read by the author! It made this book so much more intimate and added a whole new dimension to the experience. This book really resonated with me as someone who deals with a loved one who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. This was a transformative experience for me. I really can’t recommend this book enough.

Hope after devastation

I, too, was impacted by the character Eric in this story. Thanks to Dana’s fearless share, this is helping me heal more than I even knew I needed to. If you’ve been impacted by mental abuse and/or violence, or simply want to educate yourself on the topic, this book is highly recommended. Dana is an amazing writer and narrator who I’m very grateful to call my friend. I should also note that the end takeaway is incredibly positive and focused on growth. I applaud Dana on her resilience and commitment to expose the truth about narcissism.

Keep Lighting Up the Darkness

I recently heard Dana speak and I was so inspired by her story I not only bought her book, but also the audio version. There is something special about hearing the author narrate their own story. As Dana describes in her author talk, she believes it is her mission to help others. Dana is able to take her pain and make it purposeful. I see her doing more talks on a larger scale in the future. She speaks so eloquently and is able to convey her message in a meaningful way. She was made for this. Buy her book. Tell a friend.

Rare insight into the heart and mind of a survivor of domestic abuse.

This extraordinary book has the narrative drive of a mystery novel, but the mystery at its core is not the one found in a typical crime story. What the author unravels instead is the tangled relationship that links a master manipulator to a person rendered vulnerable by a heart full of hope.

Pain Meets Purpose & Prolific Prose!

Converting our struggles and overtly frightening experiences into beautiful art, does not a seamless challenge (and painfree endeavor) make!

Our author magnificently takes her past trauma to the pages of profound purpose; and she contagiously parlays her bold bravery into a spirit-building compass - lending to us all believing in safety and a meaningful life more, and in ourselves!

With Dana‘s vulnerability and articulate verse, she seems together the truism which many people gloss over or omit when filtering their stories in order to portray prettier versions, and she walks us through the insecurities of staying in unhealthy relationships and the repercussions which dwell therein.

Crying with her, rooting for her, and identifying with her through so much introspection, fear, and the desire for happier things, this is an important read for women in the dating world, and for anybody who wishes to uphold their faith in the galvanizing message that “everything WILL be OK“ because we will make it such!

A terrific job indeed.
