You Can't Run
Someone’s stalking me. Muscled. Masked. Older. Powerful enough to ruin me … and obsessed enough to make me fall.
Zee
I feel him watching
The sculpted man in the sugar skull mask
He knows my every move, my every weakness
My every hidden desire
After my father’s mysterious death, I’m pushed into a secret world I don’t understand
But nothing prepared me for him
Off-limits.
Forbidden.
Dangerous.
I shouldn’t fall for the voice that makes me quiver, or for the touch that makes my body betray my mind
He knows things he shouldn’t
He sees parts of me I try to hide
The closer I get, the more twisted secrets I find behind that mask
And the harder it is to escape his grasp
The day I met the masked man who watches me from the shadows is the day I should’ve run
-
Sugar Skull
Zee was never meant to be mine
Too close
Too young
Too tempting to ignore
I’ve watched her longer than she knows, and now I’m addicted
To every step
To every quiver
To every moment she thinks she’s alone
Men who touch her won’t walk away
I’ll make sure they’ll painfully pay
She thinks she’s being hunted
Well, she is
And I always finish what I start
It’s you and me until the end, angel.
Promise.

I love a good dark stalker romance!! Loved the use of a Sugar Skull mask for our MMC. Zee is the strong independent woman and one of my favorite types of FMC. Captivating from the start and will definitely be checking out more books by this author!! IF you love a dark, age gap, stalker, masked man, touch her & die then you'll love this book!!!

Did I lose the plot along the way? Yeah
But did the smut make up for it? Hell yeah 😛😛
Need me a sugar skull in my life

L. J woods has truly knocked it out of the park on this one!!! As someone who loves her men morally grey and yet romantic, someone that gravitates towards spice and passionate, dare I say the SMUT, this was a captivating and enthralling read. I don't want to give anything away, so I will just say that if you want a dark romance with that stalker obsessive, I will kill for you and anyone that hurts you,book boyfriend, you've got to read this. If you enjoy books like Haunting Adeline, In the Shadows, I Will Break You or Pen Pal vibes, you will love Sugar ☠️. I know I did.

This book had me in a chokehold.
I went into this expecting a dark stalker romance and somehow ended up knee-deep in secret societies, ritual murders, hidden bodies, campus conspiracies, and enough plot twists to make me question every theory I had.
The romance was great, don’t get me wrong. The obsession? Top tier. The tension? Delicious. But what surprised me most was that the plot was actually bigger than the romance.
I spent the first half of this book collecting clues like a detective. Every answer created three new questions. Why was she being targeted? What happened to her father? What was the deal with the dagger and the mark? Why did this brotherhood care so much about controlling its members?
And for once…
THE BOOK ACTUALLY ANSWERED EVERYTHING.
No loose ends. No “make up your own ending.” No giant reveal that creates ten more plot holes.
Every question I had at 45% was answered by the end, and the payoff was worth it.
The secret society storyline was by far my favorite part. The hierarchy, the traditions, the manipulation, the hidden history—it gave me the same feeling I got reading books where there’s a mystery underneath the romance that slowly unfolds chapter by chapter.
And the FMC?
Absolute badass.
Watching her go from target to someone who completely dismantled the system that tried to control her was incredibly satisfying.
Also, the stalker reveal got me. I was convinced I knew who it was.
I did not.
The reveal was simple but effective, and the moment everything clicked into place I physically had to stop and process what I had just read.
If you want a dark romance where the romance is important but the mystery is what keeps you turning pages until 1 a.m., this is it.
I stayed up way later than intended because I needed answers.
Thankfully, this book delivered them.

I tried. I really did.
The premise sounded promising: dark stalker romance, morally gray chaos, intense attraction, and enough mystery to keep things interesting. Unfortunately, by 25% I realized the book seemed far more interested in nonstop smut than actually building a compelling story around it.
And look, I enjoy spice in romance. But for me, it works best when there’s emotional tension, character development, or plot progression supporting it. Here, the scenes started blending together because there wasn’t enough substance underneath them to keep me invested.
What finally broke immersion for me were the editing inconsistencies. At one point, the male POV character refers to the female lead as having anatomy she very obviously does not have, which completely pulled me out of the scene. It wasn’t just a tiny typo. In a scene relying heavily on physical clarity, mistakes like that make the writing feel rushed and insufficiently edited.
The book also suffers from a style that feels more focused on dark aesthetic than meaningful emotional depth. There’s intensity, but not enough substance behind it to make me care.
I can absolutely see this working for readers who want extremely high spice with minimal interruption from plot, but personally I needed more story, more emotional progression, and stronger editing to stay invested.
Sadly, this ended up being a DNF for me.

What a roller coaster of thrills and twists and turns that L.J. took us on. I truly had no idea what was coming next and gobbled it all up. When Zee moves into her father’s house after he passes away, she realizes there are things about him she didn’t know and all the secrets his house and that town held. While some want her gone, there’s one masked man who has become obsessed with her and keeping her safe. The moment our MMC “sugar skull” showed up and had her coming undone…I was like holy hotness, this man didn’t come to play. But also is he really wanting to keep her safe or is he who she should fear? This was pure chaos and captivating and left me constantly guessing at what was going to happen next. Zee was not one to be messed with though and was such a strong and fierce FMC who refused to back down to “sugar skull” and even threw in some sarcastic wit. They had some explosive chemistry and he had a mouth that would leave you in a puddle. I loved the MMC reveal and was so thrilled with how L.J. wrapped everything up, but also hoping we get to go back Eastmount again.
Thank you L.J. Woods for this arc to read. I’m so so glad I discovered your books.

This book absolutely kept me on my toes. I thought I had figured out who sugar skull was and then it went a whole different direction and I was straight up surprised. This is yet another new author to me and I will definitely be adding her to me watch list. It's not often I get it completely wrong and I like that.
This book follows Zee (Azalea) as she finds herself in a new town after her fathers death and inheriting his house. But on her first night there with her abusive boyfriend there is a man in a sugar skull mask that pops up. But he keeps showing up and saving her and making her feel more than she ever has before. When truths start coming out can these two work together to change things? Can Zee figure out what happened to her parents and who she is?
I loved this world and these characters they were extremely well written and developed. There were moments when the pacing wasn't great but it still wasn't as bad at all. The flow was good as well. I absolutely enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Review of Advance Reader Copy, Gifted From the Author.
Title: You Cant Run
Author: L.J.Woods
Genre: Romantic Thriller / Stalker Romance
Release Date: April 9, 2026
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
You Cant Run By6 L.J.Woods was such a fun read that had me, wishing for a Stalker of my own but also had me side-eyeing every shadow and double checking my doors are locked. The Stalker element had me from the offset. Creepy without being over the top, and it kept that constant 'oh no' feeling. I found myself staying up well into the night flying through the pages, just to know what happens next. and the guessing game of who the stalker was, was on point.
I really like our FMC and how relatable she was and her internal panic mixed with denial, and the whole packing up her bags to leave was us all, you know you should leave but hey hot masked stalker might as well stay right.
Its not perfect but most books aren't and that's why we love them, This book is gripping, moody and insanely addictive, especially if you love romantic thrillers with a strong stalker storyline, which is defiantly me. I say this whole heartedly when I say this book is 100% worth a read, it has suspense with a fun element and a slightly unhinged edge.

April 21, 2026
You Can't Run is a dark, stalker romance. The way this story started gripped me right from the beginning and sucked me in.
Zee finds herself with an obsessed, possessive stalker that calls himself sugar skull who is also a serial killer.
I loved the plot of this story. I am hooked. It's dark, spicy, and complex. The story is so well written. You have that anticipated feeling of creepiness and having to look over your shoulder with the stalker, but also, the mystery and intrigue throughout the story will leave you flying through the pages. I love when a big, scary, dominating man can be so soft and cuddly just for his girl. It does something to me!
I highly recommend giving this a read!!

Oh, Ms. Woods, I have missed your writing, and man, did you come back with a bang. This book kept me on my toes. You truly have no idea of what was to come next. I mean, ya, we know who the FMC is, Zee, but that MMC was like a guessing game once it was revealed who you were sitting there with, your eyes wide open. This book had it all: mayhem, mystery, calculations, smut, and so much more. I was literally hooked from the very first page. If you haven't read a book by this author, you are seriously missing out. I don't even remember how I discovered her, but I don't regret it one bit!
April 9, 2026
This is one of my favorite dark romance authors, and man did she COME THROUGH!
This take on the popular stalker romance trope was absolutely fantastic!
I was on the edge of my seat the second “sugar skull” entered the picture. Get your fan ready for this one, because everything that comes out of his mouth is straight filth wrapped in grace.
I loved that this story kept me guessing until the end; it was not predictable!
Well done, truly loved it!

LOVED THIS!! Had the opportunity to ARC this and loved every minute! Addictive, suspenseful, stalker like vibes, masked man. 🥰
We need more of Zee and sugar skull ! Would love to see how that story continues….
Sugar skull is the perfect dark romance stalker 😂 obsessive, possessive, and protective. The tension between him and Zee is perfect. Tons of plot twits . Suspenseful. If work didn’t get in the way I would have finished this sooner 😂
Always check trigger warnings.

This was hot! OMG there was no putting this down. I was in for the hunt. This was wild and dark. The twists and turns, yes please. That sugar mask, oh hell yeah! A freaking hot stalker, oh I melted. This had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I’m obsessed. I’m running to get me a copy and every other book this author has written. I’m a dedicated fan now. 😈❤️

a good read
I enjoyed the book. It had me hooked from the beginning. My only problem would be when i put it down and pick it back up it took me a while to get back into it. Once i was into it again i was hooked. Took me longer then i wanted to finish but all in all 10/10 characters, good development without changing who they are completely. I enjoyed the book

Who knew! It appears that I from all the things that I am willing to read I didn’t like the drugs! The smut and the maiming no problem. But joints? Big turn off. I didn’t knew that about me. It was nice not crazy for my taste, killing for the sake of killing.

This book had me captivated from the first chapter to the last. I could not put it down. The plot twist throughout this whole book was awesome. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading!! My only question is….When can we expect a part 2?

This author is one of my absolute favorites and automatic one clicks and this book just adds another cherry on top! This may be her best book ever, there is so much depth to this book— the story, the characters it was all so well done.
Zee and Sugar Skull are everything— we are waving red flags over here and I LOVED IT! This author writes the best FMC, I love how we can relate to them and how strong and independent they are all at the same time and Zee was no different. And this man, he checks all of the book boyfriend boxes and I am SWOONING. But on top of all of that there was so much suspense and mystery, so many questions and just went I thought I knew what was happening- bam a twist I didn’t see coming that had me flipping the pages.
I absolutely couldn’t get enough and I do hope there’s more from this world.
