yk at first i was like is there a 3 boyfriend trope i forgot to read because im usually just a one man kinda girl but oh my god. i guessed who it was going to be like 60% in but still shocked me nontheless. i wish we couldve gotten crew to finish her sleeve tattoo but clearly we know why he didnt. this book pulled me in from the start and i couldn’t stop reading it. also i liked how it didnt get boring after she knew who he was.

Something about this book just makes me 🙄. If I didn’t have a resolution to not DNF a book this year this would have been my very first one. I felt like I was pulling teeth reading this shit. 💩 the plot was predictable a FMC was an Elena Gilbert.

Why was this so fun? Where are my morals? Am I colour blind? Somebody get me tested because I was just looking past all the red flags of this guy. God, by the end I was kicking my feet and giggling. 💀

This book is heavy on the spice and I'd say not that heavy on the plot, but I do like the main characters. I do have to admit, Kyah was a little bit annoying at the begining, but she warmed up to me.

Reid though? Reid? Okay, I do have to say he's definitely not everybody's cup of tea and is pretty much moraly pitch black (check TW🥰). That being said. Tell me why I inhaled this book and him as a character? (Time to open Pinterest and search for fan art of him, Ig?)

Now, there are some things that bothered me at some points like repeating different phrases multiple times, but it's not anything I personally can't get behind.

Over all, I'd say this
Book over all? 5⭐
Characters? 4.5⭐
Plot? 3⭐
Spice? 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Bonus points for the comedic inserts. There were some parts that had me cackling.

The first half of this book just didn’t work for me. The constant parade of characters lusting after the main character felt overdone and quickly became tiresome. The beginning of the second half did manage to grab my attention, so I stuck with it, but overall, it didn’t improve much.
I guess If you’re looking for a story where there’s no plot and is pure smut with a serial-killing stalker, this might be for you. However, if you’re hoping for more depth or complexity, this probably won’t hit the mark.
Smut was
