Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - Brutal Obsession

Overall, the bullying was INTENSE. I wish we got more of Violet and Greyson together after they start to understand each other. I needed to keep reminding myself that this was meant to be a bully romance bc ngl, a lot of the time it was hard to read. For a big book, it also read really quickly which was nice.

wtf. the protagonists' obsessions with eachother were just plain weird and concerning and the plot barely made sense. If u like something real dark and violent u might like this it's just not for me.

Dark bully, enemies to lovers romance. I like the evolution of the FMC from very sheltered to being free with her dark desires. The MMC goes from absolutely abhorrent to understanding his motives.

This is the first time that I’m giving a book, a five star, even though if push came to shove, it will be a 4.75!

I love how toxic Greyson is! He’s the type of H that I love reading about, and will reread all day every day!

And the only problem I have with the plot of the story is the two kind of potholes that would never bring up again. Well one just ended without showing us. They just told us that the person went away.

Like this was a huge part of the second half of the story and age is tied up in the last few pages without showing us what happened and I felt very disappointed in that.

Another one was a plot hole that was never brought up, but is was a main factor in why Knox was going after her best friend. The bet always a major feature out the first half in a little bit of the second half yet at least in the story, it was never brought other peoples attentions. Like the girls never found out about it which seems kind of crazy that would’ve just brought more drama.

Other than those two things definitely loved loved the story. It was really good, the spice great, how toxic Greyson was is just superb.

Will definitely read it and I cannot wait to continue the series, but I’m waiting for bookish buys special edition before I read it!!
