Corrupted (Devil's Night 1)

Corrupted is a psychological thriller set in a dark romance atmosphere by American author Penelope Douglas. The writer delves into an in-depth analysis of the characters, gradually revealing their traumas and pasts to fully immerse readers in the story.

The narrative contains a dual timeline: in the novel, Penelope Douglas juggles events from the past and present—when the story with the "Four Horsemen" began, and when the spark ignited between Rika and Michael. The story also unfolds from the perspective of the main characters: they share their thoughts and feelings—and this allows readers to understand the characters' motives and desires. Dark romance is reflected through the prism of tension, where trust borders on risk. The characters face manipulation, psychological control, and their own inner demons.
