"Have you ever had the feeling of being watched when you're alone?
Andrea has just moved in to her new apartment after ending a long relationship. She is drawn to the affordable rent and the landlord, Lee, who appears helpful and understanding to someone facing financial difficulties.
Unbeknownst to Andrea, there's a darker side to Lee. Obsessed with his tenants, he secretly spies on her through a hidden mirror in the bathroom. At night, he sneaks into her apartment and drugs her. Attributing the constant exhaustion to stress, she remains oblivious . . . until the signs become too glaring to ignore. Andrea grows increasingly suspicious of the apartment and its landlord.
By the time she receives a message warning her to leave, it's already too late, because Lee has grown too attached to her, and he has no intention of letting her escape."
"The perfect family. The perfect lie.
Mellie hasn't been home in over twenty years. Not since her parents and her brother Jacob died under mysterious circumstances. Not since she was left completely alone.
But the past isn't gone. It's waiting.
Her name appears in confidential files—alongside dozens of missing children. Her family's house holds hidden rooms, medical records, and surveillance equipment she was never meant to find. And someone is slipping inside at night, leaving things behind to remind her she isn't safe.
The deeper she digs, the more twisted the truth becomes.
Because her family's deaths were only the beginning.
And Mellie was never meant to walk away."
"Be careful who you trust with your child.
After losing her husband, Sarah is doing everything she can to hold herself—and her young son Theo—together. When Elena appears, calm, capable, and eager to help, she seems like the answer to Sarah's prayers. Theo adores her, and for the first time in months, Sarah feels like she can finally breathe.
But soon, little things start to feel… off. Lullabies Sarah has never sung filling the house. Documents moved. Unfamiliar items appearing in Theo's room. And the way Elena looks at her son—as if he belongs to her.
As Sarah digs deeper, she realizes this perfect nanny isn't who she claims to be. And letting Elena into their home might not have just been a mistake—it could cost Sarah everything."
