• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No

This book took a very, very disturbing turn and it just kept getting worse at each turn. There is absolutely no redemption for this guy. Lincoln needs to be in jail or institutionalised because he kept committing crimes and never saw the problem. Just all round very concerning that these deeply dangerous and predatory  behaviours is being pushed as “dark romance”.

Lincoln. Obsessed and possessed. 

With an all consuming love between Lincoln and Monroe. 

If it were any other book and MMC, I would not have liked this as much as I did. Lincoln being so obsessed from the get go was just insane but I couldn’t stop reading. 

Monroe has had a rough life so far but she is also really driven and dedicated to herself. Always wanting to do better for herself. I love that.

madhattermommy94's review

This was just bad. It felt like the author tried to mix Haunting Adeline and hockey romance and just came out jumbled. The synopsis had me SO excited and then it just fell flat. Half of the text messages were in bubbles the other half were italicized. He came off as a psychopath whereas she came off as a stupid Bambi. I'm going to jolt at the smallest movement and run away but pressure me into going out with you and then tattooing my name on your dick and I'm in love. It just got too ridiculous.
