This book feels like a fever dream…
I was told that Malachi was a Zade dupe but he is giving schizophrenia/ an autistic joker vibe instead.
Some of the scenes really threw me for a loop though,like when he shoved a skrewdriver up the fmc’s ass?
I would say that this book is more like ‘The Dare’ and not Haunting Adeline, it’s definitely heavy on the kinks.
Some of the scenes don’t make sense as well, like the endwhere the father that Malachi almost killed and whose blood he fucked his sister in, suddenly just accepts that his kids are in a relationship…
The 2 stars I gave are for the narrators because they were actually good, but the story lacked plot.
