* Description:
Where the Darkness Found Me is a brutal, emotionally charged descent into the life of fifteen-year-old Melody Rayne. A girl surviving inside a house of horrors crafted by a narcissistic mother and an emotionally violent brother. Her father is absent by choice, working long stretches away from home to avoid the mess he refuses to confront.
When Lucian, a 32-year-old man, begins offering Melody the attention she’s been starved of, she mistakes manipulation for love—and willingly steps into the jaws of a predator. What follows is not a love story, but a slow erosion of self beneath the guise of care.
Inspired by true events, this novel exposes the insidious nature of grooming, the violence of emotional silence, and the savage fight to reclaim one’s voice. Melody’s story is not just about what was stolen—but what she’s willing to burn to get it back.
Content Warnings: grooming, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, parental neglect, self-harm, PTSD, trauma, suicidal ideation. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

Kindle is already here, and we cannot manually add them.

We'll need a link for the paperback as well. Amazon only has the Kindle apparently.

It is scheduled for release so Amazon has the detail page hidden until release date

Ok, provide the link when it is up.

Okay, thank you! I also just noticed that there were 9 books under my author profile. This is my first book published. Are librarians able to help remove those? (I believe it's under a different Courtney Young's profile and not mine)

I moved your book to a new profile:

You may claim it if you like.

Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
