Honestly not my vibe. So much sex, so little plot.

Felt like it was trying so hard to be Outlander, but just didn't hit the mark

The one time Batman is in love with Joker, while Joker isn't in love with Batman.

Plus the end scene??? They should kiss.

For me, it would've made more sense to combine the first and second books into one considering they a short in length and are set within a very short timeframe.

Besides that, this book wasn't bad, it just wasn't for me. The plot felt underdeveloped and, in my mind, only served to break up the smut scenes that felt far too frequent in the second half of the book and oddly repetitive.

Daddy's Stepstalker by Gianni Holmes

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.

Thought this would be an interesting read, more out of my comfort zone, but I just could not get into it. It felt more juvenile, if that makes sense? A grown-up wattpad writer who read creepypastas as a kid.
