What the hell did I just read? 😅 This was amazing. Fast paced and tense, it will grab you right away. It does have blood and gore, SA is also present so check your trigger warning. It will keep you at the edge of your seat until the last page. The story itself is amazing. The characters are believable and you will be rooting for them. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for a psychological horror thriller.

*CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS*

Fully unhinged stalker targets, kidnaps, and tortures his victim ----- for several months. 

The character development for a damn psycho has never been so well done! The suspense and slow crawl of anticipated horror was remarkable. 

If you liked the books, Pretty Girls and 100% Match or the movies Hard Candy and I Spit on Your Grave------ - this book is like all of those mashed up and more. 

Not to mention the writing, female empowerment, and many beautiful lines through this terrifying read.... This author will be an instant buy from me moving forward.
