Very “Twilight”-esque Plot with romanticized stalking It gets spooky and eerie at points which could give you some effed up dreams. This is not a book I'd recommend you read at night. I found her little journal entries to be riveting and the fact that Adaline had more going on than just her stalker made the character feel more rounded. The murder of her great grandmother was such a cool addition to the plot. Some of the sexual content in this book was tough for me to read, I just don't think stalkers are sexy but Zade did grow on me as the book progressed but I still found the romance tough to swallow. Not to mention the cliffhanger at the end which had me beside myself. I am rating this book 4 stars because the plot and story are very intriguing. I disagree with the sheer number of poor reviews on this book strictly due to the fact that the readers were unprepared for the disturbing and dark content. A lot of darker themes are tackled here and as a reader you need to be smart about knowing what you're walking into. This is a full on dark stalker romance with some murder mystery elements. ![]() ![]() And the trigger warnings need to be taken seriously. ![]() Okay so this book is definitely for mature adults. ![]() ![]() ![]() Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing 'Hail the Conquering Hero Comes' or possibly 'Roll Out the Barrel'.
