5/5 WOW. Buckle up, guys, you're in for a long & HOT ride!

TROPES:

~dad's best friend
~godfather x goddaughter
~age gap
~possessive/obsessive dirty talking hero
~stalker and hitman
~masks!!!!
~touch her and die

I've loved her since the moment she was born. From the second her one-day-old tiny body was put in my strong, killer arms.

WOW. Wow wow wow. This book was incredible, I couldn't stop reading it! Before I go any further, there are NO "creepy" vibes regarding the MC's relationship with each other. This was done beautifully. NOTHING happens before she's 20 years old, but his attraction to her started when she was 18. Before then, he was simply her father's best friend.

Vaughn is Darlene's late fathers best friend. He is also her godfather. After her father died and Darlene turned 18, Vaughn protected her from himself. He was gone for 2 1/2 years but stalked and protected her from afar. He had cameras in her apartment and often watched her just to make sure she was safe.

Meanwhile, Darlene is on a trip for the weekend to spend time with her best friends and their boyfriends to celebrate her 21st birthday. What she doesn't know is that they have a vile, evil plan for her. Of course, Vaughn finds out... and he's her avenging angel.

In the present moment, I'm far worse threat to anyone who dares hurt Darlene. Because now I'm her protector, avenger, stalker, and I am madly, insanely, un-fucking-controllably in love with her.

In the beginning, Darlene is a bit of a shy, introverted pushover. But her character gets stronger with every page throughout the book! Vaughn on the other hand is SUPER obsessive about her and he has a plan to get rid of the threats in her life. A dark, deadly plan.

Woooow (again!) I loved this book so much. It's depraved and dark as hell, so mind the triggers! I haven't read a book that has gotten me so entranced in so long! There's mega amounts of degradation and praise which is the perfect combination. For the people who need safety info- Vaughn is celibate and utterly obsessed with the heroine. Darlene is just as obsessed and doesn't even look at another man.

Eva Marks has a stunning writing style and I'm planning on reading her entire backlog! <3

SAFETY:
Ages: 20h, 38H

Darlene’s friends pressure her into a weekend party to celebrate. Naïve to their true nature, she doesn’t realize they’ve laid a trap for her.

Vaughn has kept his distance, but has never been far from his goddaughter.

I enjoyed Vaughn’s unhinged approach and his dominant nature. I love an age gap, but sometimes the drawn out push and pull detracts from the relationship. You won’t find that here. They’re both all in and I’m about it. However, I did not connect well with Darlene. Throughout a significant portion of the book, she was utterly beguiled by her so-called friends. Then once secrets are revealed, she’s immediately a badass. She just wasn’t for me. All that said, the storyline was unique and the smexy times were smexy.

I've been dying to read this book forever!!! It doesn't hurt that the h is named Darlene!! I get giddy when I find books with my name!!

Vaughn, my man Vaughn, has been watching over Darlene most of her life since he's her godfather, but after an accident, he pushed himself away but watched from afar to let her grow. And that first chapter it was some spice!!! We love an obessed man ;).

We fast for few years Darlene is taking this trip with her 2 best friends and there boyfriends and other single friend, Things have been rocky on this trip with how her besties have been towards her. Mocking, cruel, she doesn't say anything, thinking it's the long car ride. What makes it worse they are trying to pawn her off to theirs friend because she's a virgin and what's rude they outted her as a virgin to the guys what great friends 😑😑😑.

So I didn't mind our girl having her stalker do some horrible things to them 😈😈😈😈
And boy, when Vaughn does stuff, I just melt. And I was giggy the whole time. The mouth on that mofo!!!!!

🌟Brief Summary:
🎃Erotic Horror Romance🔪
This was perfect for my Halloween/creepy vibes. So campy and fun!
This was a sexy & bloody 🩸🔪fun mess of a ride.

🙏🏻Anyone who can rec me more… SAFE FROM OW sex then please🙏🏻

Darlene has had a crush on her dads best friend and godfather for years.

Vaughn has always considered Darlenes dad and mom his family. They only people who know his dark secrets. So when Darlene was born she was HIS to protect.

Their relationship was VERY INNOCENT until her 18th Birthday where everything changed and both see each other in a different new more mature light.

‼️VAUGHN WAS NOT INTERESTED IN HER SEXUALLY AT ALL UNTIL HER 18TH BDAY! ‼️

So when Darlene’s parents die in a car accident a few months after her 18th birthday they are both devastated. But then Vaughn disappears for Darlene’s life for 3 years……. OR SO SHE THOUGHT 💀.

🔪Just before her 21st Bday her 2 besties and their BF take her on a “Cabin in the Woods’ vibe weekend get away to celebrate. But not is all as it seems…. Not only is there a scary masked stalker in the woods hunting them but her friends have ulterior motives for bringing her into the middle of nowhere…. Where she can’t escape☠️.

❣️Things I Liked/Loved❣️

-OMG GUYS!!! Gah this was HOT🔥CREEPY💀, SUSPENSEFUL 😱, BLOODY 🩸and oh so ROMANTIC 😍 ….in a dark creepy stalkery twisted kind of way 🫶🏻.

-🖤I LOVE VAUGHN! I just have me one of him. Gah his love, devotion, PROTECTIVE OTT and PURE OBSESSION for Darlene was ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥!
Because now I’m her protector, avenger, stalker, and I am madly, insanely, un-fucking-controllably in love with her.

-🫶🏻Loved the storyline, mystery and suspense. I knew what her friends were up to but not why or even the extremes they would go to.

-🖤The BRUTAL WAY VAUGHN AVENGED HIS LITTLE RAVEN🖤… he liked to play mind games and let’s just say….. he like to get bloody🩸 and he LOVED TO RELIEVE THESE MEN OF THEIR MOST TREASURED BODY PARTS 🍆🍑🍆🍑🍆… it was 🫣 interesting.

❣️LOVE ME A CELIBATE MAN❣️ he was celibate since he saw her as a woman… so roughly 3 years! Since she turned 18.

☠️THE MASK☠️ TOUCH HER YOU DIE HORRIBLY☠️

Things I Did 💔 Not Like
-Darlene 😕 was kinda annoying at times. Her inner monologue got a bit repetitive. She was dumb lol

-This could have been shorter…. There was a lot of inner monologue that got to be draggy and repetitive. I would have liked if there was more dialogue at times too. For this and the fact that Darlene annoyed me at times I reduced my rating.

-I would have liked even MORE suspense.

Dnf @ 50%


I gave it a try, but, nope, I can't do it anymore. 🙅‍♀️

The pacing was off, and it's slowly annoying me as chapters go by.

The FMC was dumb and blind not to see what was right in front of her. She kept saying she could handle her friends and she'd speak up, but none of that happened. She makes excuses for their rude behavior, and idk what the author was trying to make out of her, but there's a huge difference between being nice and stupid, and she's the latter. 🙄

The MMC was giving me the ick, and I know he's unhinged and obsessed with her. He says he loves her, but I don't think that's the actual case. Imo, he's in lust with her and has been for years, obsessively wanting to own her body, and make her his pet. 🤷‍♀️ 

I'm already at the halfway mark, and this is still the second day. Nothing was happening aside from the murders and MCs acting on their horny thoughts (they had interacted twice).

The MCs were unlikeable, and I couldn't feel any chemistry or tension between them. They were bland as individuals and as a couple. The love they kept spewing about was neither present nor palpable. 🥴

I think 50% is more than enough to show that I gave this a shot, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

Boring! The heroine was so freaking dumb. The plot and the tropes used had so much potential but poor execution, at one point it felt repetitive and dragged for too long. Total waste of my time. Also the book was very very slow and weird. When I started reading I had a much higher rating in my mind but as the book progressed it came spiralling down.

‼️no cheating, no OW drama, age-gap
(21h/39H), he was celibate‼️

⭐️3.5 🌶️5


This is literally giving like wtf did I just read OMFG🫠


The only reason I’m giving this 3.5 is because the fmc was so annoying to me tbh . I love a good dark taboo romance , unhinged and deranged mmc and so on and so forth . I just continuously put this down because I can’t stand a weak fmc . She slowly and I mean SLOWLY gets mentally stronger but it took too long for me tbh .

Once I found out the truth behind everything I never said I wanted people dead so fast in my life like tf typa shit was they on🙃

Vaughn and Darlene….

“That’s it, little raven,” I encourage her from my place on my couch as I watch her gather her arousal and spread it back up. “Pinch that pretty, swollen clit for Daddy.”


Need I say more?

Vaughn stalks his Raven for years and returns to finally claim the woman he can’t live without. Darlene has pined for Vaughn and when he comes back and saves her…she knows she will be his forever.

While some parts were a bit long winded, this was mostly a super hot and sexy dark stalker romance with plenty of triggers and violence. But I’m into that so…😂

Holy hell!! This book was so DARK but I loved every second of it! (Yes, there is probably something wrong with me 😂) Please check the triggers! There is a whole shopping list, I mean page, of them!!!

This is a Cabin In the Woods meets stalker romance!

Vaughn is obsessed with Darlene and will do whatever to protect her! Even setting up cameras and watching her every move. The problem is he is also her godfather and way older then her. Oh and did I mention he is a serial unaliver(but only for bad guys)! So when her friends decide to take her away for a birthday weekend with plans she knows nothing about he tags along to make sure she is safe.

If you love:

🖤Men in masks
🖤Innocent Heroine
🖤Betrayal
🖤Praise
You need to check this one out!

This was so bad I couldn’t finish it. Vaughan is so creepy and perverted. Total whack a doodle. The storyline definitely gives off a low budget horror movie feel. Darlene was just a pitiful character. Some of the sex scenes were cringe worthy.

Lawyer by day. Paid assassin by night. Add in the desire to keep a close eye on his god-daughter and that’s Vaughn’s life in a nutshell The unexpected passing of Darlene’s parents, had him walking away for her own good, but the thing about stælkers is, they’re never really too far away.

“𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚.”

If you’re looking for a book to feed all your fave schminks, then you are in for a treat with this one! I was sold as soon as I heard daddy, masks, possessive stælker - that is what you call a triple threat 😏🥵 for me anyway…. a possessive masked daddy? JUST. TAKE. MY. MONEY.

“𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙝•𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣?”

I am a sucker for a dads buddy situation, so I’ve read quite a few and know the usual vibe but this one surprised me, although even with the differences this book still brings all the heat you’d expect and then some 😉

I enjoy a a bit of a taboo read every now and then

Age gap? ✔
Father's best friend? ✔
Stalker? Okay, that's new. Why not?
Murder of evil on the side? Fine, I'll see what's what.

I can see what the author was trying to do, but there were two things that killed any chance I had to like this book.

1. The writing

Pure and unadulterated hatred courses through my veins, burning fire where ice cold tends to flow.

Flames eat their way through my blood as I slip into the woods on this wretched late morning. They kindle the heat beneath my skin to a lava-hot temperature.

My flesh is seared from them by the time I settle in my campsite.


😬 ↞ This was literally my face for the little I read.

2. The execution

They way things are presented, we are supposed to believe a shy, barely able to form a coherent sentence virgin knows she's into rough, painful sex? Already skeptical. But when the murderer, stalker godfather is angry because the friends plan to kill the FMC? We haven't had the chance to like either MCs much, yet we are supposed to be outraged? The author just assumes we're going to be on the MCs side because they are MCs? 🙄

This book is about Darlene and Vaughn && I will admit it is a great story, but towards the end of the book, I had to push myself to keep reading. Don't get me wrong, the spice level was amazing in its own write. It had its great moments, but it seems liked it kind of drowned too much. The primal, taboo aspect of the book was great!

**This arc was given in exchange for an honest review**

My goodness this book was wild! This man was obsessed. There were so many layers to this story. The FMC at times was annoying, but she eventually got it together. The MMC was f-ing nuts! Like unaliving ppl at any point in time and giving 0 f-ks. I was stunned a few times. Getting the MMC’s backstory was sad.

Eva kept me on my toes with this one. I probably should have read it next month to prepare for spooky season.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this early, Eva.

It's safe to say I am now a big Eva Marks fan after reading Obsession! This book was DARK and I loved it! I was instantly drawn to the stalker trope and the MMC being a serial unaliver was perfect! Hot and deliciously spicy, I'm surprised my kindle didn't catch on fire it was that steamy! Vaughn was so unhinged and Darlene all innocent, couldn't have been more perfect for one another! If you want a fiery horror romance this is the perfect read!

Thank you to the author for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

Vaughn has been watching over Darlene for most of her life since he is her godfather, but after an accident, he pushed himself away and started watching her from afar. Fast forward to a few years later, Darlene is taking a trip with her 2 best friends, their boyfriends, and another friend who is single. Her best friends are not being the nicest towards her, but Darlene thinks it's just the long car ride to the cabin. On top of that, they are trying to get Darlene to hook up with their single friend, like keeps insisting because she is still a virgin. When they arrive at the cabin, Darlene starts to figure out what her friends are doing to her, and that's when Vaughn comes to the rescue.

EVA HAS DONE IT AGAINNNNN!!! THIS BOOK WAS UNHINGED, DISTURBING (IN THE BEST WAY), AND SUPER HOT. This book gave me Friday the 13th vibez, perfect for spooky season! Vaughn is WILD! He is a lawyer by day, and serial killer at night -- killing only the bad men. I read this book so quickly! I was immediately invested, and I couldn't stop reading. I loved how obsessed Vaughn is with Darlene, I'm actually jealous LOL. This man was slashing and chopping anyone who messed with Darlene, and he did it with no hesitation. The spicy scenes were off the charts -- trust me, you will be squirming and blushing. It's not a surprise that this book is amazing -- I say it in every review, but I love Eva's writing so much -- it's addictive to read. I'm super excited for her next book -- honestly, I'm super excited for everything she has planned to write, because I will read it instantly. If you're into dark, graphic, gory, horror romance, this book is DEFINITELY for you!

Well I was looking for a serial killer/stalker romance to read for the spooky season and this turned out to be the perfect fit!

⚠️Please check the trigger warnings before reading! This book is very dark and has gore.⚠️

That being said I felt like some of the deaths 💀🔪 could have been better. Some felt super rushed or just like “whatever” for what they were planning on doing. But I will say Roy and Lanes death were the preferred.

The spicy scenes were very nice! Though extreme to go from virgin to 🍑 and 👊🏻🐱 in under 24 hours was a bit much. 😂 Some of the wording and repetitive statements became annoying. The FMC was not my favorite and not very bright. When she became crazy 😈 that was fun! The epilogue could have been so good if they didn’t end it on a revenge note with having newborns… How could that possibly work?!
Overall the story was good! Great for a thriller read.

NEVER BEEN MORE TERRIFIED IN MY LIFE.
I mean, it's not that bad. It's a lot of horror, then obsessive-deranged-dark-romance.
But 'to fist' up till his wrist...I'm petrified like HOW?
He's not fisting through a balloon hole. And it's not making me tingly, kind of a lot of hurt.
