The main female character got raped twice by the main male characte and I wasn't even half way through the book. Also the stuff about killing children made me feel nauseous.

This was an awful book. Badly written and full of gratuitous sexual abuse.

I DNF'd this. I went in blind just having been recommended it a ton by people and on TikTok. This shit is horrid. There isn't a single redeemable quality in any character, no good plot, just this freak stalking the FMC who has zero preservation instincts and I can guess it ends with her falling for him. The serial murderer man who's stalking her. No. It's so bad. It would be one thing if there was a singular redeemable character or portion of this story but there's not it's just twisted and fucking dumb.
