Namaste and Slay

From the author of The 13th Continuum and A Sacrifice of Destiny and Desire comes a chillingly dark romantic-suspense series that's perfect for fans of You. Morgan thought a weekend at the exclusive Namaste Center-a luxury wellness retreat for women, located in the picturesque Berkshires-would be the perfect way to recover from a breakup. Her two best friends insisted she needed the detox, meditation, and most of all, distance from her complicated ex, Noah. No phones, no distractions, just a chance to reset and move on. But Morgan isn't sure she wants to move on. All she really wants is for Noah to apologize for the affair that ruined their chance at happiness. From the outside, she appears to have it all: she's built a life of success in the big city, far from her rough childhood. But she grew up clinging to the survivalist skills her alcoholic father taught her before he drank himself to death. Self-reinvention was her way out, and she made sure no one would ever figure out where she came from-not even Noah. Now, as Morgan tries to bury her heartbreak in spiritual escape, she can't shake the feeling that something's wrong with the Namaste Center and its oddly serene staff. A mountain lion lies gutted on the road, its blood melting the snow. The guru's serene chants twist into eerie rituals by firelight. And in the meditation garden, stick figures left by past guests sway in the branches, taunting Morgan with shadows that feel alive. As cryptic warnings from a hunter echo through the trees and the other women begin to mysteriously disappear, Morgan's instincts scream "danger" and she realizes she's not here to heal. Something sinister stalks these woods. Driven by a need to uncover the truth and a desperate desire to survive, she digs in. Noah may have broken her heart, but whatever's lurking here has the power to break far more-if she doesn't break it first.

In this suspenseful sequel from the NYT-bestselling author that blends Ready or Not with You, he hunted her for leaving-now she's hunting him right back. Morgan Steele came to the snowy Berkshires with her two best friends for a stay at the Namaste Center, a luxury wellness retreat for elite women, to get away from her cheating ex, Noah Barron. But one week later, her friends are dead, and she's on the run from a gang of patriarchal killers called Sanctum Victus. Because the Namaste Center was no wellness retreat . . . No, it was a trap set to punish Morgan for breaking up with Noah. Noah who's been stalking her since the day she left. Noah whose family trained him to kill but who'd never managed to follow through before. Noah who can't decide if he wants his target dead or just completely under his thumb. Now, Morgan is stranded in the freezing woods, haunted by the father she left behind long ago and hunted by men who believe her independence is a crime. But she's fighting for more than her own life: she's pregnant with Noah's baby. And with her friends already gone, she's next in line to be eliminated. Morgan's far from a helpless victim though. In fact, before she was Morgan, she was swamp-raised survivor Tammy Lou. She's been hunted before. She's killed before. And this time, she's going to make Sanctum Victus pay. Tropes include: betrayal, isolation, secret society, hidden identity, and stalker romance.
