Pretty Monster by Sheridan Anne
4.25
This book is unhinged in the best way possible. It’s dark, it’s twisted, 🥵🥵🥵 and somehow, it’s also kind of romantic in the “oh no, what’s wrong with me?” kind of way. This book delivers on the depravity, and I ATE IT THE FUCK UP like the little feral goblin I am.
Let’s talk about Alex. He’s terrifying, unhinged, and grows into a guy who would absolutely murder anyone who looks at his girl sideways. And, honestly? Love that for her. He’s the kind of character who makes you question your morals because, yeah, he’s a psychotic murderer, but at least he becomes her psychotic murderer.
The mystery? Solid, even though I figured it out early (what can I say, I have big-brained detective energy). But that didn’t take away from the sexy ride. Because this book is ride. The tension, the horror, the way the story makes you feel both disturbed and way too interested at the same time? Chef’s kiss.
If you like your books dark, messed up, and hot as shit unhinged spice un the “should I be worried about myself, maybe therapy is necessary?” way, this is for you. If not… maybe stick to something safer, like knitting or tax law.
