Playing with Fyre by Logan Fox
3.0
This for me was just OK, though I did like the premise and that was what initially drew me to this one as I do so love a good old stalker romance. This is the first book in a trilogy and centres around Charlotte a girl who suffered and survived a horrendous ordeal at the hands of a monster. Attending an art therapy class as a way to deal with her trauma brings Charlotte to the attention of another predator her Art professor Gideon Fyre. He instantly develops a fixation on his student and it’s not long before this obsession is taking over every aspect of his life as Charlotte becomes the centre of Gideon’s world.
This was told in dual POV which is my favourite It deals with some dark themes and I believe this first book has the least triggers and it’s definitely going to escalate further as the story progresses. This is of decent novella length and I mostly enjoyed it with some minor issues. I just wasn’t sold on the connection between Charlotte and Gideon it just felt slightly underdeveloped but maybe the short length impacted this a tad. It also had some continuity issues and I did get turned around slightly as the flow at times felt somewhat disjointed. The writing itself was fine but I don’t think I’ll be continuing on I’m just not that invested in the characters so unfortunately this is the end of the road for me.
