It was bad and I see what was trying to be achieved but it just wasn't achieved.
DNF, was like 50% through. I just can't be bothered to finish. Its just too much for me.

This book was exactly how everyone said it would be, yes non consensual (but the main character confuses the fuck out of me cus of course she is a rich author who doesn’t have to work) so it’s a weird fucked up read. The murder mystery part was nice, I would say clues for the murderer were there. And this type of cliffhanger ending, I hate.

i cannot for the life of me read more than 20 pages of this at a time. just need more motivation for this and i know i'll pick it back up
I've heard such good things about this book from a horror group and was excited to read this. Unfortunately, the writing was utterly ridiculous. Addie is "falling in love" with her stalker despite him breaking into her home and taking advantage of her sexually. She continuously notes that she is self-aware that she is stupid and making poor decisions in initiating contact with her dangerously violent stalker. The reason given for these choices? He is oh so sexy and knows how to work a clit. Come on!! Why do women have to be written this way? She lacked any redeeming qualities. The novel also tries to show the depth of the stalker's character because, while he treats Addie like garbage, he rescues kidnapped and sex trafficked individuals for work. (So, he's not a completely bad guy!) I don't think I have ever rolled my eyes this hard from reading a book. Apparently, this is the first in a series, but I can't rationalize subjecting myself to another chapter with these characters.
