Listen I don’t even know. This is really not for everyone and I even had to skim read a part because that was a little to much for me, but other than that this was good. I thought the dynamic was interesting and not something I usually read. The stalker didn’t happen until like the second half of the book which I wasn’t expecting. Honestly if you don’t read dark romance do not read this and if you want to venture into dark romance don’t start with this. The list of content warnings at the beginning gagged me because spider play. I just reread the content warnings and I must of skipped past the warning of what I skim read( but it’s because that was her “dad”). The writing also wasn’t the greatest either.

H. D. Carlton should read this and takes notes.

I devoured this book.
I do feel like it could’ve been a bit longer though.
Ending character turnaround seemed a little rushed, but I’m still here for it.

OBSESSED...

I f'kin inhaled this book. Leigh pushed the limits of dark + taboo with this novella. It is deranged and twisted. Nothing about what happened in this book is okay. But it was also beautiful and raw and had me bawling like a child by the end of it.

This is not feel good or cozy. It's heavy smut with taboo kinks and fetishes. If you're one of those people that like to skip trigger warnings...Don't. Do not set yourself back years of growth + recovery because you wanted to f'ck around + find out. If you've read the synopsis, trigger warnings, took time to reflect and think you can handle it then buckle up and get ready for the darkest ride of your life. Malachi is THAT psycho.

"Run Little Stranger" 😈

This book feels like a fever dream…
I was told that Malachi was a Zade dupe but he is giving schizophrenia/ an autistic joker vibe instead.
Some of the scenes really threw me for a loop though,

like when he shoved a skrewdriver up the fmc’s ass?

I would say that this book is more like ‘The Dare’ and not Haunting Adeline, it’s definitely heavy on the kinks.
Some of the scenes don’t make sense as well, like the end

where the father that Malachi almost killed and whose blood he fucked his sister in, suddenly just accepts that his kids are in a relationship…

The 2 stars I gave are for the narrators because they were actually good, but the story lacked plot.
