She trusted her therapist. That was her first mistake.

Amber thought the luxury apartment was her fresh start. She didn't know every room was a cage.

Amber has the life that looks perfect from the outside. The right address. The right therapist. A fresh start after everything that happened with Jeff.

But something is wrong with the apartment. Small things at first — a door she doesn't remember leaving open, a schedule that seems to know her movements before she does.

When she starts investigating, she discovers the building's systems aren't managing her comfort. They're managing her compliance. And the man who placed her here — her therapist, Matthew Caldren — isn't finished.

By the time Amber understands what's been done to her, she's already fighting on two fronts: against Caldren's architecture of control, and against the version of herself he's been quietly building in her place.

For readers of Freida McFadden's The Housemaid and Ruth Ware's The Woman in Cabin 10.

What Readers Are Saying

★★★★★
I read Soft Erasure in one sitting. The twist at 70% made me put it down and stare at the wall. Then I picked it back up and read faster.

Verified Reader, Goodreads

★★★★★
This isn't a thriller that shocks you. It's one that makes you realize you've been uneasy for 200 pages without knowing why. That's the more terrifying kind.

ARC Reader

★★★★★
The protagonist's voice is so precise it's unsettling. Like watching someone describe being gaslit in real time, with no vocabulary for it yet.

Read the Opening

The apartment is quiet in a way that has a shape to it.

I've been here eleven days. I know this because I've been counting — seven breaths in, seven out, the way Dr. Caldren taught me. Counting keeps the edges solid.

The building is called The Meridian. Thirty-one floors of glass and steel and systems that know when I wake up before I do. The thermostat adjusts at 6:47 every morning, two minutes before my alarm. I told myself it was a coincidence.

I'm getting better at telling myself things.
