The Psycho by Nikki J. Summers

5.0

This is my first read by Nikki J Summers and I absolutely loved reading this book! The Psycho is a standalone and book #1 in the Soldiers Of Anarchy series. It's an enemies to lovers, slow burn, stalker and dark new adult romance. I discovered Nikki J Summers just recently when I came across one of her books. And I was curious to read this one! I mean, I love reading dark romances in general, and when Nikki J Summers also combined my favorite tropes, I just had to read it! I really wanted to read a stalker romance, but I haven't come across one, until now. Yes, this read isn't everyones' cup of tea, hence there are certain triggers and it might be unsettling for some readers to read. But if you do enjoy reading dark romances with morally grey and sassy characters you definitely need to read this book!

Seriously though, what did I just read?! I mean, wow! The plot is amazing!! The slow burn and chemistry between the main characters is *chef's kiss*. The intensity between Adam and Olivia "Liv"... I can't even begin to explain it! I loved their banter, they are each others' match! And let's not forget Adam's friends, I cracked up at some of their dialogues! As soon as Adam crossed paths with Olivia he wanted her. But the feeling wasn't mutual, at first. Olivia craves for love and attention, and when Adam started to show his interest in her, Olivia may hate to admit it but she did enjoy it. Oh my gosh! The last few chapters though! A plot twist that I wasn't expecting! Looking forward to book #2

I don't want to give too many spoilers away, but Adam AKA "Psycho" is the leader of the "Soldiers of Anarchy", a vigilante group, protecting the streets of Brinton. Where justice/law fails they step in; they serving justice by playing a "game of consequences". Olivia is a fiery, rebellious, sassy strong willed heroine with a sharp tongue; she's not afraid to speak her mind especially to Adam.  Adam just loves her sassiness, fire and smart mouth. And yes, he's obsessive, protective and possessive of Olivia, leading him to shadow/stalk her. He has some psychotic traits, hence his nickname "Psycho" he has no moral compass and he immensely enjoys playing his (dark) games or more like tormenting people.  Everyone fears him and his group of vigilantes, well, except for one, Olivia. And Olivia's games of consequences has begun because she's on his radar, he won't stop until he has her.
