This book made me so sad, scared and mad. How could someone be so obsessed with another person?

This book had my full attention almost immediately and kept my attention throughout (which is a feat because I give up on a lot of books). It is incredibly creepy, dark and sad so if you don’t like heavy stuff this isn’t the book for you. I throughly enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to be able to read again when I had to put it down to go to work. 
Up next in my stack of to read books is another one written by him because I enjoyed it so much.
