“I won't hurt you. I just wanted to finish the job your boyfriend didn’t even start.”

Katie Thompson is having a hard time adjusting to her new reality. So much has changed in such a short time and she doesn’t feel as if she fits into the family anymore. She bought a house in the woods, far away from anyone and her rockstar boyfriend Tommy is her only constant. But when a masked stalker shows up and makes it clear that he thinks Katie can do better, she lets him in and everything spirals. Will Tommy ever love her the way she hopes? Will she learn the identity of her stalker? 

Okay as of right now Mac is my favorite MMC in this series. He not only gives us wonderful stalker vibes, but he’s also a complete alpha-hole. He has such a dirty mouth and worships Katie. He is a whole package. Katie oh sweet sweet Katie. My heart ached for her so much through this book but I loved seeing her growth throughout this story. I love how she came into her own by the end. I definitely got some Haunting Adeline vibes from this book. Can I just say the scene with Tommy passed out in the bed…IYKYK if you don’t then you need to read this book!

Now to vilify Tommy in his death…I pray that man is rotting in fiction he||. 

This is book 3 in the McGowan Mafia series. It can be read as a standalone however I highly recommend reading the series in order to get the full impact of the plot. This book is so much darker than the first two. Please check trigger warnings!!
