This book was so funny. I found myself laughing out loud so many times. The spice, the banter, the chemistry between the two main characters was perfect.

I loved the first third of the book, I loved where it was going, it really gave me dark stalker vibes. However it fell flat at the end. The Brad bit should've died with him. Too popculture-y, wayy too many tiktok/social media references. I get the book was inspired by the whole mask-tok side of things, but I wish it stayed more on the stalker side. Shame really I really loved the start

First part of the book was good but second part was mehhhh.
Too much golden retriever energy (the book is under dark romance category so I thought MMC would be morally grey).
I'm here for all the kinks mentioned in it but the plot was rushed and a certain plot was unnecessary iykyk.

I received this book as an ARC! Thank you to Navessa Allen for letting me read this book.

Overall Rating: 3.25/5 stars

Content Warnings: Mentions of SA, attempted SA, murder, knife play, BDSM, stalking, dub-con, mask kink, etc.

The book itself was good! I enjoyed the story and the characters a lot! I’m pretty into dark romance, so this book was definitely up my alley. It follows the story of Aly and Josh, both of whom are living secret double lives when it comes to their interests and fantasies.

The idea of the book is quite fun! Josh finds out that Aly is into masks like he is, which makes him decide to break into her house and surprise her. The plot is good fun and I really like the characters. Overall, I enjoyed this book!
