Pretty Monster

3.77 AVERAGE


Immediate five stars. I have been on a dark romance kick lately, and this scratched the itch. It was HOT!

It is multiple POV, which comes into play when trying to figure out who the St!lker is, because Kyah has multiple overprotective men in her life trying to claim her.
Definitely “You’re Mine” trope

dark funny fast-paced

The FMC is brain-rot incarnate, and this book certainly does not pass the Bechdel Test. The erotica is erotic, I guess. But the emotional/tonal whiplash of the story structure is honestly unbearable. Every single man in this story, of which there are many, is completely unlikeable. I read a lot of dark romance, so that’s saying a lot.

Ok... there might be something wrong with me but I freaking loved it! I mean, Reid isn't a 'good' guy. Far from it. He's a serial killer who gets off on killing women but he's hot AF! (Hey, it's fiction so what I would never condone IRL is A-OK in a book)

I did love Kyah. She's an interesting FMC. The narration was unreliable in just the way that it kept me guessing a bit. The story is dark and unhinged and spicy and I was there for it! (The spice was SPICEY!)

But damn that ending! Ouf! I wanted more but it was just the best ending, really.

A great read for those who love their MMC psychotic with a dash of stalker, serial killer and Touch Her You Die! So yummy!

I really enjoyed this book. The serial killer wanting to end the FMC’s life was something I’ve never read before. I guessed the twist early on, but it was still fun. The middle also dragged a bit (I don’t think this needed to be almost 400 pages), but I still really liked it and the story as a whole.
