I f'kin inhaled this book. Leigh pushed the limits of dark + taboo with this novella. It is deranged and twisted. Nothing about what happened in this book is okay. But it was also beautiful and raw and had me bawling like a child by the end of it.
This is not feel good or cozy. It's heavy smut with taboo kinks and fetishes. If you're one of those people that like to skip trigger warnings...Don't. Do not set yourself back years of growth + recovery because you wanted to f'ck around + find out. If you've read the synopsis, trigger warnings, took time to reflect and think you can handle it then buckle up and get ready for the darkest ride of your life. Malachi is THAT psycho.
"Run Little Stranger" 😈

I was told that Malachi was a Zade dupe but he is giving schizophrenia/ an autistic joker vibe instead.
Some of the scenes really threw me for a loop though,
I would say that this book is more like ‘The Dare’ and not Haunting Adeline, it’s definitely heavy on the kinks.
Some of the scenes don’t make sense as well, like the end
The 2 stars I gave are for the narrators because they were actually good, but the story lacked plot.

The Audio is amazing! Had to tell myself over and over that they are not related siblings!🙈

Obviously taboo af.
The development of the FMC was not consistent enough for me. Like she switched to a sweet girl to a most devious person than her brother. It was a bit odd.
But that’s okay.
This book is right on top of my « WTF AM I READING? » shelf.
