dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

Um... it was a book..? I don't really have much to say. I personally didn't enjoy it. But maybe you will. 
Cole is a serial killer artist who discovers Mara and he becomes obsessed with her. So there's that.

I can't give this book a rating based on stars because it was not enjoyable. However, it was riveting and intense which means that I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one day because I had to know what happened. It was very weird and pretty messed up. Emphasis on DARK. 

It leaves off on kind of a cliffhanger, which means you have to read the 2nd book (hopefully there aren't more than that to reach a conclusion, but who knows?). I had to take a break and watching some lighthearted comedies after reading this because it was that intense.
