I did not expect to like "Devious Obsession" as much as I did, but it turned out to be an absolute page-turner. Having read other works by S. Massery, I already loved their writing style, but I was unsure what to expect from this dark, intense trope. Not many authors can navigate this kind of story well, but Massery excels in delivering a gripping and unforgettable tale.

The story revolves around Steele O’Brien, a cocky, brooding, and antagonistic hockey player who becomes the protagonist’s new stepbrother. The dynamic between Steele and the protagonist is electric and filled with tension. Steele's determination to torment and dominate makes for a compelling read, with layers of emotional and psychological depth that keep you hooked.

Despite the heavy themes, the book is well-written and addictive. The dark and brooding atmosphere is balanced with moments of vulnerability and raw emotion, making it a well-rounded read. If you’re looking for a dark, captivating romance that pushes boundaries, this book is a must-read.

I mean it was good. Idk like sometimes I wasn’t feeling it or the steamy scenes weren’t to my liking which is a me thing. The whole secondary story line with her dad and overall smaller characters felt random and underdeveloped and unresolved.
