Review to come but immediate thoughts after finishing: i need to be choked by a pyro
Slightly more coherent thought?
I spent a substantial amount of time wondering if this is an enemies to lovers and i don't think so. Kohen was never her enemy. He had his reasons for stalking her, leaving her presents, and watching her while she was sleeping. He hated her for not understanding him or seeing him the way he wanted, so I've settled on Haters to Lovers.
The writing is great. The setting was oddly stunning, and the rawness of the characters and their connection was my favourite.
I read this on the bus, to and from work, and i almost missed my stop more than once.
I forgot to mention that the design of this book is so good, there is character art and stunning chapter pages. It's really beautiful.
Read the book, it's well worth your time.

This was actually pretty bloody great. It was well written, hilarious and gave so much feminine rage.
It really said i see your unhinged MMC and I'm upping all the stakes and making it a FMC instead.
We have a super diverse cast of characters, so much feminine power and knife and blood play.
Do check the trigger warnings because this book is not gentle.
Side note, even if I didn't know the author was Australian, I would have known within a page. There is something uniquely Aussie in the unhinged, don't give a fuck attitude within the book and I loved it even more for that.
I spent yesterday reading a few unhinged novellas and this one cemented the author as a must buy everything they have ever written and collect them like trophies.
Side note, they live in the same state as me and I wonder if they do any bookish events.
