I read this book and listen to the audiobook.  This is a 5 star book on its own but the audiobook took it to the next level and it was a 10/10. The spice is forsure 5/5 on the spice scale. I highlighted so many things in this book because it had me fully on the edge of my seat and at times when standing weak in the knees. This is not a book that will make you feel good inside. It is not a love story where they live happy ever after. This is a story where what was meant to be good is really evil and the hero is crazy as hell. The audiobook took this book that is filled with emotion and made you feel it. If you loved Haunting and Hunting Adeline I think you will enjoy the pain you will feel from this.  If you like books talking about the trauma from religion this book is also for you. If you like a crazy psycho hottie that gives off touch and her die vibes this is for you. Mask kink ✅,  stalker ✅,  all over pain with your pleasure Aero is your next book boyfriend. I am about to have one hell of a book hangover because nothing out there could come close to this story and these characters . This was forsure top audiobook of 2023 and in the running for best book of 2023.
