Aliko
I’m the drummer of The Unbound—the first monster band to ever step into the spotlight.
To the world, I’m a spectacle. To my family, I’m an embarrassment.
Kraken aren’t meant to be seen. We’re meant to stay in the deep, in the dark, where no one can point at us and decide what we are. But I chose the stage, the noise, the lights… and every time I step out there, I feel the weight of their disappointment dragging me under.
I’m losing myself.
Then I meet Leif. He falls for the version of me that isn’t real… the quiet human boy I pretend to be. Every kiss pulls me deeper into a lie I don’t know how to escape.
I want him. I want truth.
But loving him means revealing the monster I’ve spent my whole life hiding—
and risking losing him the second he sees the real me.
This book is part of the Backstage Beasts series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone.
