From the dark and twisted mind behind the podcast sensation The Magnus Archives comes a suffocating, socially charged nightmare that reveals how fear festers in the cracks of everyday life… Beneath the streets of London, it hungers… It's the hottest summer on record and the city is suffering. Prices are high, pay is low. And on one fateful morning five travelers find themselves trapped in a tube car deep in the London Underground.  It will change their lives forever.  By the time they leave the train they will be bound together as witnesses to a single horrific event. Something terrible, irreversible, and monstrous. Something hungry. But they can't remember what it is.   On their own, they each begin to experience strange dissociative events. Time gets lost. Friends disappear. Something stalks them in the shadows. They make an unlikely team, but to remember what they encountered that day on the train, they will have to work together. Because now it's up to them to understand what horror they saw – and stop it in its tracks before it drags everyone else down below. 

I never anticipated Charlie Florek. Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart. Because Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.

Alles, wovon ich je geträumt hatte, könnte mein sein. Alles, was ich dafür tun muss, ist Ja zu sagen. Ja zu dieser Lüge. Ja zu diesem Mann Ellie Cox kann ihr Glück kaum fassen, als sie auf der Fashion Week in Mailand kurzfristig als Stylistin für Sänger Roan engagiert wird. Einmal zum festen Stylist:innen-Team eines Brand Ambassadors zu gehören, war schon immer ihr großer Traum. Nur Caleb Lee, der verschlossene (und viel zu attraktive) Manager des Teams, ist wenig begeistert von Ellie und dem Chaos, das durch sie entsteht. Und als auch noch herauskommt, dass Ellie single ist und damit Einstellungskriterium Nummer eins nicht erfüllt, sieht sie sich endgültig auf gepackten Koffern sitzen. Aber dann macht Caleb ihr ein Angebot, das sie nicht ausschlagen kann: Er spielt ihren Fake-Boyfriend, wenn sie seinen Fehler bei ihrem Background-Check vertuscht! Und schneller als ihr lieb ist, steht für Ellie so viel mehr auf dem Spiel als nur ihre Karriere ...
