mickeygod's review

The writing is redundant and at times overly flowery. The main characters are nearly flawless except for their glaring personality flaws; but being fabulously weathly, good looking, and good at sex are supposed to detract from that enough to get through the logical fallacies of especially the crazy stalker’s arguement.

He is supposed to be redeemable in as much that he is killing pedos and human traffickers and working against the skin trade, while participating in and actively committing assault and rape on the FMC?

No thanks. I don’t get booktoks obsession with this. It’s just not good, and edgy for the sake of being edgy. If I had bothered to finish it, It’d be one star.

Moderate: Gaslighting, Antisemitism, Body horror, Cursing, Murder, Domestic abuse, Eating disorder, Violence, Gore, Gun violence, and Confinement

Minor: Child abuse, Trafficking, Alcoholism, and Child death

The content of this book is about a toxic relationship between a stalker and his victim. He rapes her multiple times and then essentially Stockholm syndrome takes over. There are ghosts in here but they hardly matter. Yuck.
