Dark contemporary romance

Stalker romance

Dual POV

Flashback

Touch her and die

Forced proximity

This felt like I was reading a slightly altered 50 shades of grey.

There were big plot holes going on. Ones that I don’t think can be explained with 1-2 sentences the way they were. And it was small things like here dad’s debt and lack of any investigation of a his murder, her ex fiancé, the backpack, how a fall from society seemed to knot take a couple of weeks when any actual processing after a death takes way longer than that… there seemed to be an issue with object permanence. 

Some of this dialogue is very unnatural and cliche. There were so many inconsistencies  that could have been easily avoided. 

The flashback of the court scene was terribly laid out. It’s probably the worst representation of a court scene I’ve ever read. It was a missed opportunity. It could have been twice as long and given so much more insight than it did. 

I like that the untrustworthy character is the trustworthy narrator and the character that should be more morally trustworthy seems to be not a trustworthy narrator… it’s an interesting dynamic.

I won’t be continuing with this series. 

Thank you NetGalley and forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
