It’s a different type of stalker and I think the author tried too hard to be too different. It went to the point of taking you out of the book for what it was. If the book was sold as stalker-dark-antihero then yeah I’d have said it was what it was. Spoilers ahead.
The MMC and his friend are corrupt cops. The MMC abuses his power by stopping a driver on an expired registration and escalates it badly. His partner, the friend, warns him about the camera and also stands in the way to help cover. The stalking FMC thing is fine and I can even understand him killing the principal but he goes terrorising innocent people because he never went to therapy to work through his parents’ death.
Writing wise…the book is 400 pages long and the MMC’s dick/cock leaked 10 times. I counted.
Too many and I mean tooooo many references to pop culture in one book. Handmaid’s Tale. Elon Musk. Tesla (on a police salary). I can’t even name them all.
Good girl is not the only praise in a praise kink but it seems that’s all these two know. Every. Time.
Overall, it wasn’t terrible to warrant a 1 star. I liked the conflict with the parents and sister, I liked FMCs friendship with Sasha (and later Cadence).
