DNF - I got 25% into the book and it was like a badly written Wattpad book, I cringed for the majority of the book and couldn’t bring myself to finish it

They took way too long to introduce the FMC and within 3 pages I hated her. DNF. I didn’t even skip ahead to see how it ended so it counted on my kindle that’s how much I do not care for this book

The Psycho by Nikki J. Summers. This book had me hooked from start to finish. The chemistry and banter were top-notch. This was a dark and hot stalker romance. Let me tell you, Adam can stalk me any day!

"I didn't know how much longer I could go on just imagining but never actually tasting. Dreaming without feeling what I desperately wanted to feel."
Adam Noble is one of five members in The Soldiers of Anarchy in Brinton Manor; they protected the town.
Adam is an obsessive alpha, and damn he is HOT! Once he sets his eyes on something, he will stop at nothing to make it his! Olivia Cooper has caught his eye, and he wants her. The only problem is she doesn't feel the way he does. He watches her from the shadows. He wants her, and he knows she wants him. Will Olivia finally give in to temptation?

"If you ever question my loyalty again, you'll be the one getting on your knees, proving to me who you belong to. I'm not a cheat, and I never will be."
The Psycho is my first book from Nikki J. Summers, but it will not be my last. This book was a wild ride, and I can't wait for the rest of The Soldiers of Anarchy books.

Contrary to the title Adam isn't a pyscho stalker at all. He was the softest towards Olivia, so there was a contradiction. I've never seen more thoughtful physco than he is. I liked the story, though it wasn't much different from everything I read. Olivia was a fun character, and I liked them together.
I didn't like that they assumed Paul was as bad as Cheslin, so that they could justify their mistake at the end.

Gobbled down this one pretty fast. Great storyline and interesting characters. Love the psycho and spice and bantering

3.5

After reading the rebels of sandland series and loving it so much I was so excited to read this.

I will start off with the slight negative which was that as we know, Adam is a psycho. But I didn't like how he constantly talked about it, saying over and over again how he's a psycho and how he has a psycho smile. I prefer to just be shown.

The other thing being that I found some of the other soldiers were justifying themselves a lot, like between each other they were trying to prove that everyone could trust them but they were a group, they'd done it hundreds of times before so i just feel like their loyalty and hard work shouldn't have even been in question.

Now on a more positive note, as always I did love Nikki's writing style, the fact it was told in dual perspective, I loved Adam and the rest of the soldiers (when he wasn't going on about how psycho he was of course haha) I loved Liv and I'm so glad she found her soulmate after having to watch her best friends fall in love.

I loved the banter between the two characters and the back and forth. As we all know I love a chase. It was nice to see Liv's family dynamic too, how close she is to her brothers and how she practically raises them.

I'm looking forward to carrying on with this new series.

Holy wow...and did I say wow!

Oh, my golly gosh! This book absolutely blew me away! It was absolutely amazing from the first page to the last, and so much more than I could have ever expected. Adam & Liv are absolute perfection together. And absolutely explosive in and out of the bedroom with their banter and dynamic relationship. Obsessive, possessive Adam may be psychotic but he's so damn loveable I fell for him almost instantly. There are trigger warnings for this story...being a dark romance, but the emotion and intensity in the dark moments made them more heartfelt than horrid.
Adam is the best of book boyfriends, touch her and you die. Psycho by name, but a softie for the girl who calms his demons. So swoonworthy!
I can't say any more than just to read this book. It's an indie author fave of mine...and Nikki is forever a one-click author for me.
I received an ARC of this book for an unbiased review. This by no means affected my review of the book.

Rating: 4/5

This book is the first one in a new book series by Nikki J. Summers, called The Soldiers of Anarchy. It is a dark, stalker romance book, that follows the story of Adam and Olivia. Most of the POV's in the book are Adam's, which I thought was going to bother me, but I ended up loving it. There is just something about seeing everything from the stalker's perspective that is so addictive. I loved the tension that the main characters have with each other and Olivia is honestly the best. She kept Adam on his toes and their interactions were just amazing.

There is not as much spice in this book as I originally thought there would be, but the tension and violence happening made up for it.

Spoiler

While I did like the book, I missed having seen Adam meeting Olivia's brothers. I feel like that interaction would probably melt my heart and I would have ended up giving it a 5/5.

Overall, this was a good read and if you are not sure if dark romance is for you, this might be a perfect starting point.

Very much a chihuahua trying to be a rottweiler, it had the belly of being a good "dark" romance mafia, gang, robin hood club kinda thing but it was all bark and no bite.
I dnf'd half way through, not for me.
