Bloodlines of Deception

You can lose someone in a moment. But what if they come back… different?

Cherisse Jackson’s world shatters the night her husband, Ke’von, vanishes during a quick walk to the corner store. One moment he’s kissing her goodbye, the next—he’s gone without a trace. The hours stretch into days, consumed by fear, unanswered questions, and the gnawing dread that something terrible has happened.

Then, just as suddenly as he disappeared, Ke’von returns.

Bruised, exhausted, and shaken, he recounts a terrifying ordeal—an abduction, a robbery, a narrow escape. Cherisse is overwhelmed with relief… until small, strange details begin to surface. A favorite food he now avoids. A memory he misremembers. A look in his eyes that feels unfamiliar.

At first, she blames the trauma. But the more she observes, the more unsettled she becomes. Who is this man sharing her bed? Why does she feel like she’s being watched—even when she’s not alone?

As her doubt deepens, Cherisse begins to uncover secrets that were never meant to surface—secrets buried in childhood, hidden in photographs, and etched in silence.

And the truth?
The truth is more terrifying than she ever imagined.

Bloodlines of Deception is a chilling psychological thriller about love, loss, and the danger of trusting what we think we know. Perfect for fans of Behind Closed Doors and The Couple Next Door, it will keep you questioning until the very last page.
