• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No

This book took a very, very disturbing turn and it just kept getting worse at each turn. There is absolutely no redemption for this guy. Lincoln needs to be in jail or institutionalised because he kept committing crimes and never saw the problem. Just all round very concerning that these deeply dangerous and predatory  behaviours is being pushed as “dark romance”.

Lincoln. Obsessed and possessed. 

With an all consuming love between Lincoln and Monroe. 

If it were any other book and MMC, I would not have liked this as much as I did. Lincoln being so obsessed from the get go was just insane but I couldn’t stop reading. 

Monroe has had a rough life so far but she is also really driven and dedicated to herself. Always wanting to do better for herself. I love that.
