Dollface by Athena Suzanne

WE ARE BUILT ON LIES AND OBSESSION.

She comes back to take her life back.
He decides she’s his.

Lyra returns to Willow Hill University convinced she’s already survived the worst life could throw at her. But the first night back, the nightmares drag her straight into the forest. She plans to keep her head down, graduate, and avoid the people who once tried to break her.

Then Oliver Caldwell steps into her orbit.

He’s all charm, a smile that’s practiced and almost convincing—until the mask slips. Wicked, unhinged, deadly, kept carefully locked away. He doesn’t just want Lyra. He wants to claim her. And once he decides she’s his, it’s a done deal. He has secrets locked behind a calm stare and controlled voice. The more Lyra tries to figure him out, the more she realizes he isn’t the only one watching.

The first unknown message is easy to dismiss—until the next one makes her blood run cold. Whoever it is can reach her anywhere, and they want her to know it, because it isn’t random. It’s personal.

Oliver promises protection. The stalker promises she’ll end up dead.
And both of them want her to believe she can’t escape.
