fast-paced

5.0

That was amazing. 

Now I have to wait for the last book. 

And I need it like I need water at this point. 

The audio is narrated by Heather Stonewell and Gregory Salinas. They are perfect. 

 

Time to bring the light on the Shadow Man. 

He is obsessed, he is meticulous, he had planned everything and beyond. 

Every piece of each previous books and stories are settling into place. 

His obsession is Lyla. For the past 6 years. 

His goal: destroying the Syndicate. 

But who is Lyla? 

What is her place in this maze? 

 

Tropes:

Stalker

Psychopath 

Touch her and die

Does everything to empoyer her

Helicopter are the new motorcycle

This one was definitely the most dark in the series. Raw and emotional. I absolutely adored the love story in this one. Heavy stalker vibes and a lot of trauma healing. Such a great read.

Ah this wasn't it. The first few books in this series had a better balance of plot and romance and a better balance of dark and hope and this was dark without needing to be. I get why this relationship had to close the plot loops and set everything up and also how little room there was to maneuver with how the shadow man only watches and doesn't help but eish.

Don’t skip the TWs on this one, wow it’s sad and difficult. But I loved Lyla as a main character, so strong even through the worst life. The Shadow Man is a lot, but the way he feels about her is pretty cute and obviously OTT. 

DARK Romance, Stalking, Emotional, 4 🔥

this book was dark dark but Lyla's story also felt healing at some points, I wish the last book of the series was already out like it was planned, I just want every story line to come together now
