this book was disturbing,, if the author hadn't actually noted the fact that there would be stockholm syndrome, a sociopath, and cnc it wouldve been worse. at least she did cnc right even though i did see some recurring themes from the Haunting Adeline duet and i dont know if it is inspired by it, but it wasn't as graphic or explicit as Haunting Adeline/Hunting Adeline. it is still pretty strange and the mc was also borderline creepy with the way he controlled Lyla. nevertheless, that was already noted in the beginning. idk how i feel about this book; part of me is glad we got more about the plot but it also wasn't moving forward. don't like this couple bc it's just a weird dynamic with the whole stockholm syndrome/stalker situation and the guy said some dumb shit at alot of points,, meh idk
