Nightshift Guardian

The unconscious woman on Layla Santos’s couch wakes with her hand clamped around Layla’s wrist—and calmly claims to be her guardian angel. Then she eats an entire week’s worth of snacks and admits she can’t fly. Forced to share a couch with this disaster of a protector, Layla tries to laugh off the strange customers, the inhuman shadow on the store cameras, and the voice messages coming from her dead mother’s phone. But Kira knows exactly why the darkness is hunting Layla—and why she once failed to save the woman’s mother. Now something wearing the voices of the dead is picking apart Layla’s deepest wounds, while Kira’s guilt turns every touch into a betrayal. When the shadow rift opens and the thing inside demands Layla, will she trust the guardian who doomed her mother—or let the dead come back for her?
