A bitter mayoral race. A serial killer's return.

Saint Pierre, Missouri, is coming undone. A vicious mayoral race is dividing the town just as three women vanish along the River Trail Lookout, the infamous hunting ground of the elusive River Trail Reaper.

Every disappearance sparks another conspiracy theory.

At the center of the chaos is an ambitious news reporter, Ramsey Iredale, a man whose quick wit and striking looks mask a ruthless hunger for ratings. As politically charged AI videos flood the airwaves, Ramsey sees an opportunity. Determined to turn tragedy into career-defining television, he blurs the line between journalism and manipulation.

Sylvie Roberts is a polished news anchor struggling to outrun a traumatic past of her own. As the investigation intensifies, the latest disappearances force her to confront the past she thought she'd buried.

The River Trail Woods belong to the River Trail Reaper.

With bodies mounting and panic consuming the community, the killer turns his attention to the one person he blames for disturbing his peace. As fear spreads through Saint Pierre and every new revelation deepens the mystery, no one knows who to trust.

Somewhere within the deep dark fake lies the buried truth.

“Deep Dark Fake” by Nicole Annbury is a dark, intense, and twisted story! It’s one of those books where you’re constantly questioning who you can trust and what is actually real. I couldn’t put it down!

I loved how it explores the dangers of real news, manipulation, and how easily the truth can be twisted. The tension kept building, and I was hooked. It’s twisty, unpredictable, and completely addictive!
