Loved this! I love this author! Her books hit everytime and she does dark romance very well. The MMC was dark- no questions about it. I liked that the book kept you guessing as to what was the real truth despite the multiple POV’s. The Mmc is a psychopath and this is portrayed very well. I also liked the contrast between the Mmc version of crazy (psychopath) in comparison to his previous girlfriend (sociopath). However I wish you got to see just a bit more genuine interactions between the fmc and mmc to help build the relationship from her pov (as I know it was completely toxic).
