This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Dr. Carter Stevens changes his identity as he moves around the U.S. and leaves a shocking amount of unsolved cases. Once in Washington D.C. Dr. Stevens is known as Dr. Marcus Saint-Claude. Marcus already has a string of murders that look like homicides. A detective is looking into Marcus. He has Marcus be the therapist for Allison who catches Marcus attention because her fight against the wrongs that have been done to her. Will Marcus get away this time with the detective on his tail or will he finally be caught for all the wrongs he has done in his career?
This has spice but even more so it is a phenomenal psychological thriller. Clear your calendar, once you open it up you are going to need to finish it.
This book is unapologetically dark. Marcus isn’t morally gray—he’s morally black, and I was completely here for it. I’m really glad I read Imperfect first because it gave so much insight into why Marcus is the way he is, and that made this story hit even harder.
The pacing is fast, the chapters are wild, and it honestly felt like watching a true crime series where every “episode” ends with you needing to know what happens next. Deandre knows how to keep the tension simmering, and the way he weaves Marcus, Alison, and Detective Howard’s storylines together is seamless.
At its core, this is a story about a brilliant but deeply broken psychologist with a killer instinct, a woman clawing her way out of survival mode, and a detective caught in the middle of their chaos. Their paths collide in dark, violent ways—and watching it unfold is crazy in the best way. If that sounds like your kind of twisted, then Almost Perfect is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Just check the trigger warnings. This one does not play nice.
