Where Violets Bloom by Daisy Jane

I read this series out of order so I don’t know if reading Stray first is the problem. Because I really liked that one.  But this was just ok. The cop worship was a little cringe. I wish Violet would have found her voice a little sooner and just didn’t let Van save her. I will read the last one. Hopefully the last in the series will redeem it.

I felt like the justification lines that Van used for stalking violet were realistic, as were her reactions to him. Her life has been filled with toxic people and abuse. However, I had to DNF at 80% when her best friend tells her she should go back to her stalker boyfriend because he obviously loves her. No best friend that’s been trying to get you out of an abusive situation for years is going to send you into the arms of an obviously mentally unstable man. Took me right out of the story.

Didn’t realize the main character was a cop. Gross.

Characters weren't likable.. pacing felt off. It feels like we're in the middle of a story.
