The reviews for this book are pretty mixed but I for one enjoyed it. The MMC (Hayden) is truly unhinged and demented. Yes the FMC (Callie)can be a little bit dumb but I don’t think characters should be so perfect, no matter the genre.
The book is a stalker dark romance and you get exactly that. Hayden is truly unhinged and absolutely delicious. The mouth on him? Good lord, take the wheel. I’m sorry but I truly enjoyed him being an absolute red flag. Would I want him in real life? Absolutely not but in a book? Hell yeah. I will give it to him for being dead honest with who he is and his behavior. Callie is just a bit delulu.
Can we also take a moment to talk about Callie’s best friend? I absolutely loved the way she was so blunt, and just said whatever she wants. She made me crack up quite a few times which I wasn’t expecting given the themes of the book.
It does end on a cliffhanger and just keep in mind that book 2 is not on KU and a wee bit expensive for an indie book. I bought it anyway because I’ve got to know how their story wraps up.
