Bodhi Brookes has everything she ever wanted: a promising future as a psychology student, a devoted boyfriend from a prestigious family, and a life filled with close-knit friendships and a loving support system. But when a charming and enigmatic guest lecturer, Professor Malcolm Greaves, steps into her world, everything begins to unravel.
Malcolm isn’t just fascinated by Bodhi—he’s OBSESSED. Beneath his polished exterior lies a dangerous sociopath, harboring dark secrets and a sinister past. When Bodhi’s boyfriend, Azariah, becomes an obstacle to Malcolm’s desires, the obsession turns deadly.
As Bodhi struggles to navigate her thesis, family dynamics, and an increasingly strained relationship, she is blissfully unaware of the dangerous web tightening around her. But when tragedy strikes, she begins to uncover shocking truths about the people she trusts most.
In a city shrouded by rain and secrets, Obsessed: Shadows of Desire is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the thin line between love and obsession, and how far someone will go to claim what they believe is theirs.
Will Bodhi escape Malcolm’s grasp before it’s too late? Or will she become the ultimate prize in his twisted game?
