**FULL review coming soon**
I just had to come on here and say that this book had me in a f**king chokehold and I’m not ok in the best way 😅 Had me sweating, crying, heart racing and stopping to deep breath at 80%.
I need 2 business days to process before I can tell you exactly why you must read this book.

I’m back!!! Phew, I am still thinking of this book daily and have probably annoyed the shit out of my family/friends talking about it.
Honestly, I was hooked from the dedication. If you like dark, this book is dark. I had to keep covering half my kindle because I couldn’t stop my eyes from frantically trying to read ahead.
I was left with so many conflicting emotions at the end of every chapter. As soon as I felt like I could guess what was going on, things would take a turn. Constant thoughts of, “how do I feel about this….am I cool with this?”
At one point, I was internally yelling at our girl, Dylan, to run as my screen door was squeaking in the middle of the night, creeping me right out. Fletcher had my head as f*cked up as Dylan’s. Does everyone inject themselves into the main characters role or is it just me?
By the end, every emotion I thought I had already experienced came back to wreck me and make my insides burn. I thought I had an idea of where things were going. And I was right about a couple details, but the way this plot twisted and turned and left me dizzy.. I was not ok.
I can’t classify this as a HEA, but it did end with a “happy as it can be” very healing ending. The trauma is real, but so is life after that trauma. It is gritty and sharp and real. But it can also be beautiful. I CANNOT wait until the second one. Please 🙏 tell me it is already halfway done at least lol.
🔪 Dual POV
Me, as soon as I got to Fletcher’s first chapter: *snuggles deeper into blankets* yesss, tell me how much you are obsessed with her, Fletcher.
🔪Age gap/forced proximity/power imbalance
The two sides of my brain were at constant war over Fletchers questionable actions. In the end though, He is *daddy*
🔪 Touch her and die
How do you make your audience fall in love with the villainous, manipulative, stalker MMC? Introduce an even darker villain and watch our man transform into the hero for the woman who belongs to him.
Applause to the author for the top notch emotional damage I received. I loved it🫶🏼
For those with certain types of trauma that can handle reading through the darkest of plots, we know these types of books feel like healing a part of the darkness in your soul. While I sobbed and shook and had to take a break, making it to the end felt like a deep breath and a weight lifted. I’m so glad to have read this ❤️ Pay attention to the trigger warnings and respect your mental health!
