Deviant When Sloane's world shatters, he'll sacrifice everything—his soul included—to bring back the one person who matters most. But the price of redemption is steep, and the only person willing to help him navigate the darkness is Alexis, a woman who deserves so much better than a man like him. As their dangerous alliance spirals deeper into obsession and moral complexity, Sloane must confront whether saving her sister means losing Alexis entirely. This is a dark, intense journey through the lengths we'll go for love, wrapped in the kind of tension that'll have you questioning everything.
Reading soundtrack
Obsessive, morally grey, and dangerously sensual. Industrial beats meet dark R&B and gothic pop. Think Nine Inch Nails' intensity mixed with The Weeknd's seduction and Halsey's defiance. Raw, explicit, and unapologetically intense—for those surrendering to forbidden desire and twisted redemption.
