megatza's review against another edition

dark emotional fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

Even knowing the CWs for this book, I wasn't totally prepared for *how* dark it got. Stalkers are not my jam, the hockey itself was mediocre, the romance had nothing for me. The author did give the FMC (who was *barely 18*) some personal agency, and there was recognition that she didn't totally feel great falling in love with a hockey player who basically held her captive...so it gets 2⭐️ and not 1⭐️. But oof this book was NOT for me.

TROPES:
- Ice hockey
- Obsessed hero with psychotic tendencies
- If I can't have you, nobody can
- Wrong number/mistaken identity
- Virgin heroine
- OTT & protective hero

I saw this allover BookTok and I always get nervous about reading its recs because I worry that they won't live up to the hype. Rest assured, this definitely did!

I can sometimes struggle to get through ice hockey romances because they can be really long or slow paced, but this was literally everything I needed and more. I did it in one sitting, and now I'm annoyed that book 2 isn't available yet. Roll on book 2!
