She was no one’s victim — she was their kryptonite. A chilling psychological thriller that peels back the mask of charm to reveal the darkness beneath.
“She was no one’s victim; she was their kryptonite.”
Elias was charming, calculating, and consumed by shadows. Behind his polished facade hid a predator, tethered to a secret society that wore masks of virtue, cloaked in ritual, sacrifice, and the pursuit of unholy power.
For years, he returned to Maya like clockwork, cloaked in false kindness, siphoning the warmth of her spirit to feed something far more sinister. As a counselor trained to read silence and fracture, she saw what others missed.
She said nothing. She watched. She waited.
Until the night he came to claim her.
Perfect for fans of Sharp Objects and The Silent Patient, If the Mask Slips is a tense, haunting descent into the minds of predators and the strength it takes to survive them.
⚠️Trigger Warning: Contains depictions of psychological manipulation, narcissistic abuse, sexual coercion, ritualistic violence, murder, and references to child endangerment. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
