I'm a fan of Anna Huang's other books, especially her Kings of Sin series, but this was really dark for my taste. Ava's brother Josh asks his best friend Alex to look out for her while he's abroad for a year. The two fall in love, but little do Ava and Josh know that Alex is plotting his revenge against the people who murdered his family, and his emotions are getting in the way of his vengence. But at the same time, the mere thought of Ava being with another man is enough to tilt Alex toward violence. I don't mind a morally gray love interest, but Alex leans a little too hard into violent stalker territory for my taste.
