If you have any interest in reading this book, I strongly suggest that you go into it blind. That being said, consider not reading my review. I found it very hard to put my thoughts together without giving spoilers.

I loved EVERY MINUTE of this dark romance thriller! This story is told in multiple POVs; one FMC, three potential love interests, and one serial killer/stalker, and is staged somewhat like a mystery to figure out who he really is. I was lost for hours in this book, I was completely enthralled!

This also might have been the funniest dark romance books I've ever read. The characters' internal voices, especially the thoughts from our cocky unhinged stalker, were downright hysterical. I absolutely loved the author's tone and style, and literally laughed out loud several times. I also really enjoyed the strong and sarcastic FMC, though she was quite naive to the danger she put herself in (a necessity to the genre, otherwise we would have no story).
