The Hunting Ground
Six months ago, Lilah escaped the pink room. Now Bunny hunts the hunters.
After surviving Gabriel Mire’s twisted “training” at the Institute, the woman once known as Lilah has remade herself into something deadlier than her captor ever intended. Armed with the very skills meant to break her, Bunny stalks through the underground networks that trade in human misery, leaving a trail of bodies in her wake.
Each kill brings her closer to finding Gabriel—the man who shaped her into the perfect victim, then vanished, leaving her to discover she could be so much more. But hunting monsters means becoming one, and Bunny’s not sure there’s enough humanity left in her to survive what she’s becoming.
Enter Nathan Cross, a dangerous man with his own dark agenda who sees past Bunny’s blood-stained hands to the fractured girl beneath. Together, they navigate a world of trafficking rings and shadowy facilities, each violent encounter pushing Bunny further from the victim she was and closer to something she can’t quite name.
But as the hunt intensifies and long-buried memories surface, Bunny must confront the most terrifying question of all: What if the real monster isn’t the one she’s hunting—but the one she’s become?
And what if she likes it?
A dark psychological thriller about trauma, transformation, and the terrible price of survival. The second book in the Institute series pushes boundaries and challenges everything you thought you knew about victims, villains, and the spaces in between.
