In a shimmering metropolis where the flicker of a neon sign is more valuable than gold, you navigate the treacherous streets of a city that never sleeps—and never forgives. Here, light is the only currency that matters, and those who lose their glow are cast into the ultimate abyss. You are a survivor, walking the razor's edge between the blinding glare of the elite and the suffocating gloom of the underworld. But your carefully constructed world is about to collide with Kaelen, the syndicate’s most lethal Shadow Reaper. He is a man who doesn't just take lives; he consumes the very essence of his targets, leaving nothing but a hollow shell behind. As a premier mob enforcer, he is the definition of a morally gray hero—dangerous, seductive, and completely unreachable. Your life shifts from a struggle for survival to a high-stakes game of cat and mouse when Kaelen consumes a shadow that defies the laws of nature. This wasn't a human soul—it was something darker, something ancient that shouldn't exist in your world. Suddenly, you are thrust into the center of a terrifying conspiracy that threatens to extinguish every light in the city and plunge the world into eternal night. As an electric enemies-to-lovers tension simmers between you and the man who was meant to be your doom, you’ll have to decide if you can trust the monster who steals shadows or if you’ll become his next meal. The urban fantasy setting of GLOOM pulses with the raw energy of a club nightlife where every heartbeat could be your last. This isn't just a story you read; it's a world you inhabit. With SideHop’s revolutionary face-swap technology, you can literally see yourself as the protagonist, feeling every spark of attraction and every surge of danger as if it were your own. Will you find a love that burns brighter than the city lights, or will you succumb to the seductive power of the gloom?
