This was… different, to say the least. I’m finished and still not sold on Cole, though. Honestly, all of these characters range from a little bit fucked in the head to a lot fucked in the head and I don’t know who I even like. But I know I love effed up books and this one is no different.
Mara went through some serious trauma before Cole got ahold of her (because of Cole, but that isn’t really the point here). Then, like any gentleman would, he inflicts more trauma on her because after all he is a psychopath and he doesn’t really need to worry about the lines he is crossing to get what he wants.
I like the thriller/serial killer aspects of this book the most, definitely more than the overall romance between the two MC’s. Excited to see where we go from here.
Tropes/themes:
Stalker/Obsessive MMC
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
