Two people, one night, and the obsession that blooms from it. Aiden is a rockstar, he’s used to people wanting things from him and yet when he meets a beautiful blonde who isn’t the least bit interested in going out with him, he just can’t help but want to go on an adventure with her. Riley has been living with trauma all her life, she is still trying to recover and just get by. When her “friends” ditch her at an auction party without telling her what it is, she soon finds herself being accosted by strangers until the one man she used to be obsessed with comes to her rescue, too bad she outgrew him. Aiden winds the bid for her and offers her an adventure for just one night and Riley can’t just seem to resist. However when their fun night becomes public and things are twisted by the media Riley goes on the run and soon Aiden gives chase. He has to find out why the one girl he was beginning to fall for destroyed his life..., and for the next three years his obsession with her grows. Now finally he’s going to confront her, and yet things are even more complicated between them. Riley is riddled with secrets and now Aiden is coming for them all. This is a twisted love story about a rockstar and a girl on the run. This is definitely an interesting take on the Orpheus and Eurydice myth and it definitely is not for the faint of heart. I enjoyed the first book in the series and this one was good too, though the first one will be my favorite of the two and surprise, there are cameos of our beloved couple from the first book in this one!

3.5/5 ⭐️

this book was honestly so much better than the first one of this series, and i was pleasantly surprised by that given how much i disliked the first book. i know this is technically a dark romance, but i really feel like it wasn’t dark at all. there was a little bit with aiden being a stalker, but honestly the spice was dark at all. which was fine, i enjoyed it all the same but i would have appreciated a little more darkness tbh. the majority of the book was just fluff, so that was a tad disappointing. aiden and his praise were top notch though

At first it took me a while to get into, especially her being 18 and not out of high school yet. But the time jump and the following story grew on me a lot. I despise miscommunication like the plague but will say theirs grew on me. Loved it:)
