'Most obsessions start small, harmless. A tiny niggle in the back of your mind, an innocent fixation. The obsessive thought crawls under our skin and we begin to pick and pick until the desire overwhelms us and we have no choice but to tear into it, claws raking and drawing blood.'
Halen is investigating a murder and needs to enlist the help of a psychopath, Kallum. The pair are drawn to each other and Kallum appears to be obsessed with her from the start. Not everything is as it appears however.
For once I didn't see the plot twist coming and loved it. Also love a good enemies to lovers romance.
However, the writing style at times felt a little much, as though the author was trying too hard to sound 'deep'. How Kallum spoke annoyed me at times, he didn't speak like a real person, psychopath or not.
Overall enjoyed it.
