I read this book with the same fascination as ‘You’ because dude is a psychopath. If you’re looking for triggering, dirty, raunchy well written smut then this is the book for you. It’s certainly good stuff. Just don’t take it too seriously. Honestly at the end of the day, the plot is minuscule and the stockholm syndrome is the main point not a bad read- just not something to idolize.

This is a very dark book. Please read the trigger warnings before you even think about reading this book. 

From seeing how much this book has a divide on Booktok, I thought I would read it and see how I feel. With the fact I have read the Mind F series, I didn’t feel like it was as dark as Zade was kind of the same as the FMC in that book, in regards to what she does. 

But it doesn’t deter from how creepy zade is with his stalking of Addie, how he treats her physically etc. but this book did have plot and wasn’t all about the dark romance part of it. 

I did enjoy it and the spice was very spicy and very out there.

This book was hot, but of course how can you not love a man that takes down pedophiles? That’s the only way to make a stalker likable lol.
