This is one of the few books I would entertain the idea that the show was better than the book.

This book is no doubt excellent in terms of how it's written, with realistic characters and their psychology. But it is dark, way too dark for me. I felt dirty and nauseous after reading it. Honestly, if it weren't for my book club, I wouldn't finish it.

I hadn’t heard of this book before seeing the series on Netflix. My husband and I started it, then I realized it was a book. I usually hate seeing the movie or show before reading the book. I decided to pick up the book so I could complete the series before Netflix does. 😉

If you like thrillers you will like this one. If you like books about serial killers, you will like this one.

This book is very different from typical thriller books though. Instead of being written from the perspective of the victim, it’s written from the perspective of the villian.

Joe works in a bookstore. One day Beck comes in to grab a couple books and Joe feels like there is an instant connection. But is there really?

Joe knows everything about Beck, but it’s so easy because Beck is such an open book. He will do anything to have her, but will his love for her go too far?

I should add there should be a trigger warning for stalking and captivity, but it’s also a thriller. This does include some mildly spicy 🌶 stuff. There is also a bit of foul language. I only add this because I know that some avoid books that have some of these things.

I really liked this book, I only gave it 4.5 stars because there were parts that I felt were so unrealistic that it took me out of the story.

Strong start, super weak and boring middle and chaotic end. Was so incredibly creepy but the book should have been 150 pages shorter and it would have had way more of a punch.
