He came to hunt a monster and stayed to become her lover.

Malik Owusu has crossed an ocean to find a killer. When four men turn up bloodless and dreaming in the South Carolina marshes, the scholar recognizes the work of the adze—a vampiric spirit from his grandmother's Ewe folklore, hungry for blood and memory. Armed with iron, Malik arrives in Charleston ready to destroy the creature wearing a woman's skin. He doesn't expect her to be beautiful.

Addie is an ancient spirit who’s spent years becoming more powerful and abundant. She survived the Middle Passage by feeding on the lonely, making them her \"night husbands\" in the marsh grass. When she encounters Malik, she doesn't fear his blade. In fact she's been waiting for his hands—scarred from weaving, hungry for what he won't name.

As Halloween approaches, Malik must choose: destroy the monster who holds the souls of many, or surrender to a hunger older than his anger. In her arms, he discovers that being consumed is the same as being loved—and some bindings, once woven in blood and pleasure, can never be undone.

Consume Me is a sensual paranormal romance set in the ancestral Lowcountry, where the line between predator and lover dissolves like sugar in tea. The sweetest surrender is the one that feeds on you.
