A gripping and chilling story that takes readers on a dark journey into the mind of obsession. Terrance, the morgue worker, seems like an ordinary guy, but his fixation on his neighbor, Monique, unravels into a disturbing tale of obsession and madness. Whyte's storytelling is intense and unnerving, keeping you hooked from beginning to end. The way the author delves into the depths of Terrance's psyche is both eerie and fascinating. If you're looking for a quick, spine-tingling read that explores the dark corners of the human mind, this is a great read.

In the shadows of Obsession is a truly fascinating and brilliant book.

I absolutely loved the writing style and how stunningly written the main character was. It was so sad to see how he dived deeper and deeper into his obsession and far it can go.

The story had delved deep into themes of obsession, mental illness, and the consequences of one's actions. It explored the chilling reality that even the most ordinary-seeming individuals could harbor dark secrets, and that the human mind, when plagued by delusion, could lead to unspeakable horrors.

I loved this book so so much and I highly recommend reading it!
