And even if they do, will they ever be able to escape each other?

A story about toxic co-dependency, trauma bonding, swipe-culture, dead romance, expectations, survival, cruelty and malice...perfect anti Valentine's reading material if you ask me!

10.02.2026 11:00 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Soon, Amandine and Connor find themselves fighting for their lives in the remote, wild Norfolk wetlands during the coldest winter on record.

Their only chance of survival lies in each other, but can they work as a team to escape before their time runs out?

What starts as a candlelit delight abruptly ends in a night that will change their lives forever.

For this is the night they meet Lone Diner, a sick fantasist and grisly killer whose primary target is happy couples.

Lonely, jaded Amandine is tired of dating. After a series of romantic disasters, she meets Connor, also exhausted by the modern dating scene. There are red flags aplenty on both sides, but the couple ignore them, agreeing to meet up for a dinner date in β€˜the most romantic pub in the Norfolk Broads.’

There seem to have been a few release date shenanigans. For the purposes of not going bonkers I'll stick to Feb 10th as the original pub date.

But yes it seems to be available in various places now too so yay?
