4.25/5⭐️

My horror and dark romance loving heart really enjoyed this read.

Lydia Walker is a forensic photographer with a very traumatic past. As she’s hired on a very sensitive case and she’s photographing the scene of the murder, she realizes that she understands the murderer and d en agrees with him. This all bates the question if she should embrace her dark side.

Lydia is a very fleshed out character. I couldn’t help but sympathize with her. Her past is heartbreaking and she’s such a lonely and misunderstood person.

Adam is lonely, misunderstood and starving to be understood and accepted for who he is.

The dual POV worked nicely here. And I like delving into the psychology of disturbed individuals. And let’s face it there are several disturbed folks here.

Be mindful as there are some triggering subjects tackled here.

Thank you netgalley, mad axe media and Stephanie rose for the opportunity to read this arc.
