Description
The final book in a spicy and suspenseful "why choose" romance series from TikTok sensation Tate James, perfect for lovers of spice, suspense, dark academia, and morally gray love interests.
Dear Reader,
I've spent too many nights caught between reality and nightmare, each bleeding into the other like a twisted dream I can't wake from. The Devil's Backbone Society continues to host our deepest terrors.
The weight of betrayal crushes me, pressing down on my chest, bitter and suffocating. I don't know what would be worse: losing the ones I love, the ones who have become my anchors, or losing myself entirely.
In the end, is there even a difference?
Delicious tropes:
Dark academia vibes
Why choose/reverse harem
Enemies to lovers
Secret society
Taboo romance
Morally gray love interests
Parties, power games, and twists galore

Person
Tate James is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance and romantic suspense, with occasional forays into fantasy, paranormal romance, and urban fantasy. She was born and raised in Aotearoa (New Zealand) but now lives in Australia with her husband and their adorable crotchfruit.
She is a lover of books, booze, cats, and coffee, and is most definitely not a morning person. Tate is a bit too sarcastic, swears far too much for polite society, and definitely tells too many dirty jokes.
