A+ for vibes, B- for everything else 😅
Basically a sexy Hannibal fanfic, but I'm not mad about this.

Every single description in this book was turned up to 11 (out of a possible 5), so while the writing is significantly better than many other romance and/or thriller books, it was overwhelming. Could have used some serious editing down.

Also the plot is really flimsy and convoluted, you have to turn off any logic and just enjoy sexy people spewing psychobable 😌

5.0

From the first chapter I was intrigued. By the second I was enraptured, and by at least the 5th I was fully obsessed. I started the book this morning and I’ve already finished it. I was sucked so deep into this world that I didn’t even notice the time pass by. I’m absolutely obsessed with this book. Everything from the characters to the setting and plot draws you in and keeps you there. Absolutely love this book
