nesdy 's review for:
Hardwired: The Hacker Series #1
by Meredith Wild
It's better than others of its kind, but not by much. The guy is still controlling and doesn't listen to the woman at all. He doesn't tell her anything about his life but wants her to tell him everything. He gets jealous of every single man she encounters. She is sexually assaulted. All of the tropes are here.
I found the guy a bit less creepy than in others, though, and that's why it gets two stars. I liked the protagonist at the very beginning, but as the book progressed I liked her less. She's aware that his behaviour is creepy, calls him out on it, but goes with it anyway. That doesn't make it better. Just because she's aware and voices it doesn't mean it's all good. It's not enough. He never changes and she's fine with it, even though she knows what he does is not normal.
