Who Would Like This Book:
If you love dark, twisty romances with an obsessive antihero, this book will be right up your alley! Ari is the kind of deliciously unhinged, possessive stalker hero that fans of morally grey leading men crave, while Adeline is a feisty, flawed heroine with plenty of fight. The writing is compelling, the tension sizzles, and there are enough plot twists and emotional gut-punches to keep you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for readers who like their romance intense, boundary-pushing, and just a little bit dangerous.
Who May Not Like This Book:
This book definitely isn't for everyone. If you’re sensitive to dark themes - think obsession, stalking, violence, and non-consensual situations - it might be too intense. Some readers were uncomfortable with the age gap, the antihero's actions, or the way certain mental health topics (like narcolepsy) were handled. If you need romance heroes who are ethical or stories that steer clear of morally ambiguous relationships, this probably won’t work for you.

From The Publisher:
You'll judge me.
Hate me and tell me I'm wrong.
Refuse to see how my darkness is what she needs.
While I don't particularly care about your feelings in the matter, and while I pursue her despite the wedding bells that rang for another, only I can see how she is drowning beneath mediocrity.
How many times must I remind her?
It can't matter that I am the person who ruined her life.
The man who killed her father.
The constant shadow that watches her sleep.
The lover who prefers dirty alleyways to freshly laundered sheets.
She's mine.
Always has been.
I'm the worst thing for her, yet I'm the only salvation she knows.
He had his chance to make her happy.
He failed.
He didn't see how she was dying inside because he couldn't know her.
Not like I know her.
I am her stalker.
Her protector.
And the only man that can bring her back to life.
