Teo had way more than a few screws loose. Look up synonyms for ‘delusional’ and I guarantee you will see his name at the top of the list. 😭 All it took was a brief encounter at a bbq to ignite his unhealthy fixation with aspiring screenwriter, Clarice. Teo was fully convinced that she was warming up to the idea of their “relationship” and even showed some annoyance towards her understandable uneasiness while being held captive by him. In spite of the gory scenes, there were some surprisingly humorous moments. I couldn’t help but to giggle at some of the wild comments made in his inner dialogue: “Patricia was wearing a dress as old and crumpled as herself.” 🤣
This story was so sick and freakin twisted, and dare I say it…I enjoyed almost every minute of it. I always find it fascinating reading from the psychotic character’s POV. The ending was absolutely sickening. 🥴

Interesting premise, but the ending felt like a cop out.

First of all, Teo is an absolute psychopath. Throughout the entirety of this book, my mind was completely wrecked and I just kept thinking, ‘this man is a psychopath who genuinely thinks what he’s doing is out of the goodness of his heart’ think Joe Goldberg amped up to one hundred. The writing was intense, it kept me on the edge of my seat but it irritated me the entire time and there were points I’m surprised I didn’t toss this book against the wall and scream at the top of my lungs, especially due to the last two chapters of the book. A classic abduction thriller turned on its head, and some parts made me cringe out of pure disgust, but I absolutely loved every second of this incredibly wild ride.
