Once again, loving the plot. However, the ending leaves me confused for Silas’s book and somewhat not looking forward to it. While I wish to see Silas’s healing journey, a character driven book usually tends to make me snooze.

The copycat was predictable unfortunately, but the scene in the office was 10/10. I love a protective MMC. Thatcher is unhinged and perfect. 

Again though, skip all intimacy scenes… not worth reading.

Lyra+Thatcher <3

I really enjoyed being able to see their bond grow even more in this book. We actually got to see how Thatcher attempts to navigate these feelings for Lyra and THAT  was a ride on its own. 

Something that really hit me in the heart was Lyra's unwavering faith in Thatcher. I was amazed honestly. It didn't matter what he said, she just always believed in him and I think that was exactly what he needed in a partner. 

Overall, I loved reading their story. They were absolutely captivating and I couldn't get enough of them. They took me into their dark little world with them and now I don't think I want the bug girl or American psycho to let me go.
