Pen Pal follows Kayla, a grieving young widow and children’s book illustrator, whose life unravels further when she begins receiving unsettlingly intimate letters from a stranger in prison who insists he knows her and is willing to wait for her forever. As she tries to rebuild her world in the creaking old house she shared with her husband, Kayla grows closer to a protective contractor working on her home while strange, possibly supernatural occurrences intensify around her, blurring the line between grief, obsession, and something otherworldly. The story blends dark romance, gothic atmosphere, and psychological suspense, gradually revealing how the mysterious inmate, the haunting in her house, and Kayla’s own past are all connected, while keeping the central twist hidden until the end.

Jamie’s review

Even though the cover of this book nearly deterred me entirely, I had seen enough people say that this dark romance had a CRAZY twist that NOBODY saw coming, I had to see for myself. I was influenced, yet again!

…..and they were right. I tried to play detective and figure it out for myself but the twist got me good. It ended up being much sadder than I was anticipating. I definitely prefer a HEA (happily ever after). But I will say, this kept me turning pages and the spice was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Kayla's husband dies in a boating accident, then strange letters start showing up at her house and she feels like she's being watched. That's all I can say without giving away spoilers!

The spice was 🏆 but Kayla started to drive me nuts, I get annoyed with the unreliable narrator. And the twist was unexpected but it could have been done a little better.

Dark romance readers will love this one!
