I Will Break You by Gigi Styx
Pen Pal Duet, Book 1 of 2

She sees dead people, and not just the men she murdered. Haunted by hallucinations she can't explain and a serial killer she jilted at the altar, Prey is teetering on the edge of madness. He assassinates every man who shows her interest, leaves body parts under her pillow, and gaslights her into questioning her own sanity. By day, he destroys her peace. By night, he invades her nightmares, and makes her crave every depraved second of it.

Predator ghosted him at the altar. Now he wants revenge - to break her, piece by delicious piece. But someone from her past wants her captured or dead, and the only one standing between her and that fate is the very monster she's been running from. He'll protect her from the shadows. Whether she wants him to or not.

Two unreliable narrators. One obsession that will consume them both. A cliffhanger ending that will leave you desperate for book two.
