From Monty Jay comes a dark, twisted romance set in a world of secrets, vengeance, and monsters that don't hide in the shadows-they rule them. Hollow Heights University is a prestigious institution for the elite, nestled in the eerie seaside town of Ponderosa Springs. Beneath its polished surface lies a breeding ground for corruption, where secrets rot and danger lurks behind every corner. She should have stayed invisible. One wrong move placed her directly in the path of the Hollow Boys-a group of ruthless, powerful men who thrive on control, fear, and destruction. They are the monsters people warn about. and the ones no one escapes. What begins as a descent into their dangerous world soon becomes something far more complicated. Bound by vengeance, violence, and buried truths, lines blur between victim and accomplice, hatred and desire. This isn't a story about heroes or happy endings. It's about choices that stain the soul, love that grows in the darkest places, and the kind of obsession that consumes everything in its path. Some people run from their monsters. She fell in love with hers.
