The plot is phenomenal in this one. Absolutely so riveting and interesting. Thatcher’s backstory? Astounding. Lyra? So many layers and so many fun personality quirks. 

The intimacy? I wish to never read anything like it ever again.

Holy shit?? 

Thatcher and Lyra, I KNEW I WAS GONNA LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF Y’ALL. 

She’s his stalker and he’s the son of her mothers killer 🤯

The angst literally almost landed me in the hospital, I fr could feel it in my chest. 

I love how Thatcher started out as a 💀🖕🔪 and ended up become a 💀🖕🔪😻❤️‍🔥 for Lyra. Like this man didn’t believe in emotions until HER 

I’m so curious about this copy cat, I have my theories but I NEED TO KNOWWWWW

We didn’t get to see much of Silas in this book but he’s taking care of himself which is the most important thing to me 🫶🏼

Jealous Thatcher EATS 🥵!!! I know he’s a psychopath but I want him 

Also need to take a walk because the blood kink in this book made me question things about myself 🫣

Lyra being a Phantom baddie makes perfect sense for her, she is my favorite out of the girls so far. She is so resilient and her character growth is on FIREEEE. I just know the next book is gonna have me on the edge of my seat. 

Onto the next book I go!!

”You’re my ghost, Lyra Abbot. Mine and only mine. You watch me, you exist for me.”

Oh my lordy lord. I love double psychopaths. We have the son of a serial killer and his stalker. HOW INSANE IS THAT, I love it.

I haven’t read a book where the FMC was the stalker (well at least to this extent). 

I love the contrast of Lyra and Thatcher. Lyra being fuelled by emotions and obsession and Thatcher being emotionless and cold was such an interesting dynamic. I loved watching Thatcher slowly give in to Lyra and becoming more obsessed with her than he wanted.

It was a wild one. I’m curious to see what is going to happen after that cliffhanger so I’m running to read the next book rn. 

Check TWs and CWs

Happy reading 🤍

I knew these two were going to be my favorites, but oh my god

I should've KNOWN how much I was going to adore this couple. Lyra and Thatcher are absolutely perfect for each other. Their bond is palpable and I had so much fun seeing them come together. I really enjoyed living in their little world with them. Seeing how the other characters have seen them to then being able to see how they actually are and how they see each other was so fun. 

Lyra was such a fun character and I loved seeing her come into herself. And Thatcher, oh my god Thatcher. He kind of shocked me. I knew I was going to love him, but I didn't know I was going to love him so much.

that cliffhanger?? kinda fell flat bec theres no way the implied thing happened bec theres a book 2

this was crazy! like a first for me, bec i havent read books where the girl is obsessed and the stalker. kinda jarring at first but i rolled with it

must read for people who wanna read a book where the main ship are both psychos

the circus scene gagged me
