It dives deep into dark and disturbing territory, with lots of violence, manipulation, and some seriously twisted content - plus a hefty list of trigger warnings (seriously, check those!).

A wild, over-the-top dark romance that’s as unhinged as its heroine - entertaining for the right reader, but not for the faint of heart.

Ookay, so I liked the first 20% of the book, and I am DNF it at 55%. The FMC is badass. I loved the concept of the FMC being the one who is utterly obsessed and unhinged.

Buuut.. the mmc? He is acting like a whiny teenager for some reason. I get that the fmc is meant to be the badass one in the story. It doesn't add up tho, with the mmcs backstory and everything.

The story seemed okay, I got a bit lost with all the names. Just not my cup of tea.
