Aly is obsessed with a masked man who makes thirst traps on social media. What she doesn't know is that he is as equally obsessed with her. 

This was surprisingly hilarious considering it is a dark romance. Josh and Aly's banter was top notch and their chemistry was fire. I loved the first half of the book, but the second half kind of lost me. It felt a bit like two seperate books... Stalker vs mafia/murder storyline. 

Josh kept me hooked throughout this book, his inner monologues had me cackling. He has a tragic past (mass murderer father) that he likes to keep secret, so he hides away behind a computer and a mask. He is absolutely unhinged, but melts for Aly. His interactions with Fred (the cat) are surprisingly sweet. 

These two are absolutely obsessed with one another, and would literally kill for each other. 

Tropes: stalker, dark, masked man
