Under Your Scars by Ariel N. Anderson (Paperback)

A dark romance from Ariel N. Anderson, the first book in the Under Your Scars duet — and the viral BookTok sensation that made her name.

According to the FBI, he became a serial murderer after three kills. After fifty-two, they gave him a name: the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop him from taking another soul, and he’d have considered it a service to Meridian City to pull the trigger on himself. But that night, an angel crying for help stopped him — and for her, he took three lives instead. Then three became eight. Eight became twenty. And the count kept climbing.

Elena Young is the hero of his story. He’s the villain of hers. He knows exactly what he is, and he has no illusions about deserving her. But this is the kind of story where the villain gets the girl anyway — even if having her kills them both. Brutal, obsessive and unflinching, it’s a dark love story that stares straight into the worst of its anti-hero and refuses to look away.

This is a dark romance intended for mature readers only. Please check the author’s trigger and content warnings before reading, and take care if these themes affect you. Please note: this book does not have a happy ending.

Perfect for readers who seek out the darkest end of the genre — a serial-killer anti-hero, obsessive villain-gets-the-girl romance and a story unafraid to break your heart.
