I feel like I would have enjoyed this book more, if I hadn’t read a lot of this trope before. I’ve read quite a few dark romance, with a stalker plot before, and sadly I’ve read ones that were just better than this.
That isn’t to say this wasn’t a good book, it was well written, the plot was fleshed out, I enjoyed the religion aspect of it which I thought was unique and the characters were devised impeccably. But I just couldn’t shake the feeling of I’ve read this before.
But overall enjoyable and I would probably read this author again.
And with any books of this type I strongly, strongly urge you to read the trigger warnings.
