The Psycho by Nikki J. Summers
3.0
"I'd tell him that all the feelings he thought he felt were in his head. I was just an illusion to him, a dream he thought he wanted to make a reality."
I am surprised how The Psycho didn't hit my high anticipation for the read.
By the synopsis, the cover and seeming it was stated as a dark romance; it was pretty light.
Don't get me wrong, it was still a smutty spicy, intense book, but because I have read very dark plotlines/themes before, this was light to me.
Even though I was a bit disappointed what I anticipated was not what I had gotten, I still enjoyed the read.
The plotline and writing were easy and went on smoothly.
I get addicted to the read.
While in the beginning, the Soldiers of Anarchy were introduced, later on, the focus wasn't really on it throughout the plotline.
In the whole book, the focus was more on the romance than the thrill and suspense of the Soldiers of Anarchy.
Yet again, I was disappointed I didn't get the plotline I hoped we would get into.
It does give a reader false hope; in the beginning, the setting of Soldiers of Anarchy was prominent, but it felt like it got forgotten and only was put into the plotline like it was a side dish.
What I thoroughly enjoyed was the romance.
The romance was hitting every spot.
I love that the MMC was the one who fell first and fell so much harder.
Their storyline, especially Adam's on his history, childhood, and emotions, was such a tearful storytelling.
The plotline consistency was such a wave; sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
I wish there were a balance of the thriller surrounding the Soldiers of Anarchy, more of the town's development and the friend group, maybe detailing Olivia's story and relationship with her family more in-depth. While it was a good romance, there were a lot of holes in the story that could have helped strengthen everything together.
"I saw her, sitting in what was becoming a crowded park for this time in the morning, with dog walkers, joggers and older couples taking a stroll, but she was all alone. She looked lonely, and it made my heart hurt."
