Obsessed by Ivy Smoak
5.0

The Hunted series is what made me fall in love with Ivy Smoak, and her work. I had read a book previously by her several years ago, and I enjoyed it, but it led me to forgetting about her. Ever since I read the Hunted Series, I haven’t been able to put her work down, so imagine my delight when I found out she was writing Temptation from James Point of view. I have always been a huge fan of reading a book from different perspectives. I am one who believes there is always two sides to every story, and I feel in order to be able to truly understand a book you need both sides.

I thought I loved James Hunter before but seeing things from his point of view made me fall in love with him even more. With Obsessed you get to delve deeper into James struggles, and overall, it helps you understand James even more. I especially loved his inner turmoil as he juggled dating a student. This book does end with a mild cliffhanger (can we call it a cliff hanger when we know how the story ends?) and as usual I am wanting the next book now. This book had me feeling all the emotions, including the hatred I always have felt for Isabella. I loved the reference that Obsessed made to the event that happened in Empire High Betrayal and made me wonder even more how James handled it in his later years. This book was everything I didn’t know I needed, and reminded me why James should be my favorite.

With every book Ivy writes, her writing gets better and better. She just has this way of drawing you into the world that she builds, and makes you feel like these characters are real life people. I will forever support her, and her work and cannot wait for future releases.
