⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Kinky, smutty, dark, and funny, with Halloween slasher vibes and a masked stalker MMC.

I really enjoyed the banter and tension between the FMC, Blair, and MMC, Maddox, and how their relationship developed throughout the book. I also loved how Maddox wasn’t the only crazy and dark one; Blair was also dark and unhinged.

Their story started fifteen years earlier, and the book jumps between that time and the present. I enjoyed how the past and present were woven together and how everything came together in the end.

The storyline was full of twists and turns, and especially towards the end, there were multiple plot twists and revelations that I didn’t see coming.

I need Daddy Maddox in my life 🥵

I listened to this book as an audiobook, narrated by Daphne Fields and Tommy Aguilar. The dual narration worked well with the plot, and overall, I really enjoyed the audiobook version.



I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
