This is an ARC I read, it does not come out until December, so sorry! Ruby is a second-generation wicked villains child. She cheats on her boyfriend and gets a photo text message from a stalker. Their back and forth is excellent, I love that she has no self-preservation and just goes all in. There are some surprising twists and turns and really cool surprises.

Neon gods is still my all time fav but this was pretty good. The narration was great

Wicked Pursuit is one of the short stories that is going to be a part of the Kickstarter for the Black Rose Auction. This is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling featuring the children of the Wicked Villains series by Katee Robert.
I want to thank Katee for giving her Patreon's this book early so we can read it/listen to the audiobook.
First off, I want to say that while this book does feature a child of the characters from Wicked Villains, I didn't find it to be confusing or like I was lost while reading this. I would say that if you are worried about spoilers for that original series, I would read those first. Other than that, I think this is pretty easy to read even without reading the other series.
This book is a darker romance as it does feature stalking. I would recommend looking up triggers for this story just to be safe. I really love Katee Robert's book and this was no different. I thought this was such an interesting take on the Red Riding Hood story. I really loved seeing the pressure that the children of the Wicked Villain series are under and seeing how the previous series influences their thought processes.
I listened to the audiobook of this and it's a dual narration book. I LOVED it as we get the female narrator doing the female voices and the male narrator doing the male voices. They both were perfect for this book and I loved them so much.
I don't want to say much about this plot as I do not want to spoil it but I will say that if you loved the Wicked Villains series or this interest you at all, please pick it up.

I don’t read a lot of dark romance . . . But holy shit I loved this. I was only planning to read a little bit of it before bed and ended up finishing it all in one sitting. Am I a dark romance/stalker romance girly now?
I received an ARC of this book as a reward for backing a Bonkers Romance kickstarter.

I loved the Wicked Villains series and The Beast was one of my favorites so I was very excited about this book. I was hesitant on the stalking and infidelity early on in the book but without spoilers, the story wraps up very nicely and feels very Wicked Villains/Katee Robert. I saw a few people say they wish it was longer and I agree but this book is part of the Black Rose Auction Kickstarter series and Katee Robert’s past books that were in similar series were also a little shorter so I think it’s par for the course. I listened to the audiobook early release for Patrons and 10/10 would recommend.

do I…like stalker romances now? Yall when I found out who the stalker was I swear it took me 5 minutes to pick my jaw up. I mean I’ve read dozens of Katee’s books at this point I should be surprised but there she goes again. They manage to make sure I’m both turned out and terrified at the same time.
