In a definite fan of this author. I find her fmc’s to be mostly relatable, and while i don’t always agree with the mmc’s I find their pov’s to be hot.
What you have to know about this book is that the mmc is a villain, cut and dry, no if ands or buts about it. He is unapologetically a stalker, rapist and killer. Granted the people he kills are bad, but he’s only slightly better in that he doesn’t hurt children.
There was a mystery to be solved in this book and I figured it out right away, but was still very intrigued.
I had finished the prequel (satan’s affair) the day before this and I immediately started the sequel (hunting Adeline) so as you might guess I loved it, but there are very dark scenes that can be mentally taxing, and the second book only gets darker so read with caution for your mental health
