Desire. The Hellbound Series - Kayla McCoy

Not all nightmares end when you wake up. Some just begin.

Lyra Eous has always felt a little...off. Haunted by dreams that choke her breath and shadowy figures who whisper her name, she's spent years hiding behind a mask of normalcy. But on her eighteenth birthday, the nightmare becomes real.

As her world begins to crack, Lyra is pulled into a surreal realm where nothing is stable and every choice has a price. Here, time warps. Truths twist. The people she trusts most may not be real. And something ancient, something powerful, is watching her: guiding her, hunting her, and calling her toward a fate she never asked for.

Now she must navigate a psychological maze of trauma, identity, and desire, where every answer brings her closer to an impossible truth...and every door could be her last.

Gripping, raw, and darkly addictive, Desire is a genre-bending plunge into psychological horror, supernatural suspense, and emotional survival. Perfect for fans of Ninth House, The Midnight Library, or Coraline grown up and unfiltered-this story doesn't just ask you to feel.

It dares you to stay.
