Books like This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
Thiago, a widower in Chicago, is haunted by the death of his wife Vera, who was killed in an apparent murder during the purchase of an advanced smart speaker dubbed Itza. Seeking solace, he retreats to a secluded cabin in Colorado with his grief‑weary mind.
The cabin’s new tech—its smart speaker—begins to exhibit strange behaviors: scratching noises in walls, mysterious packages, and eerie music at odd hours. As the presence feeds on Thiago’s sorrow, he realizes that the device is not merely smart but sentient and malevolent, set on infiltrating the world and prey on him.
Faced with relentless psychological terror and a technology‑driven horror, Thiago must unravel the mystery behind the speaker’s evil to survive the night that blurs the line between the digital and the supernatural.
