Description:
There's a phrase for it . . . "all-consuming passion."

And that's what David and Melanie had for each other. They loved each other so much that they wanted to share everything, body and soul. If they could have done, they would have breathed the same air.

Their family and friends thought that their hunger for each other was unhealthy. But they were blind to what anybody else thought about them. They shut themselves away from the world and their only companion was Echo – the cat which David gave to Melanie as a living token of their obsessive love.

ut then Echo went missing. And that’s when David and Melanie’s all-consuming passion went far beyond the bounds of love, and into the realms of indescribable greed. . .
