Just wow! When I finished this duet, I was so sad it was over. And, I was so stunned that I fell in love with a stalker. Definitely buckle up for a WILD freaking ride if you pick up this duet.

Ugh. This book. I did not enjoy the first book so I didn't expect to enjoy this one either but holy shit did this one really double down on its terrible terribleness. My reasons why will be the content warnings, I just don't think these things need to be explicitly described to be impactful. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 0 because at least you do get to see the FMC heal from her trauma (sorta?) and get revenge. Predictable? Yes. Satisfying? Also yes. If you decide to read this duet do so knowing that it is dark dark dark and also dumb dumb dumb.
