If you love stalker romances with heart, this one absolutely delivers.
The Stalker Match pulled me in fast and didn’t let go until the very last page. I had that constant “just one more chapter” feeling, the kind where you’re half smiling, half stressed, and fully invested. It balances dark romance and chaotic fun so well that I couldn’t stop thinking about it even when I wasn’t reading.
Colton completely wrecked me in the best way. His obsession with Lexi feels deep, aching, and painfully devoted rather than shallow or performative, and I found myself rooting for him from the start. Lexi is strong, independent, and layered, and I loved how fiercely she held onto her autonomy even while clearly wanting more. Their chemistry is intense, the banter made me grin, and the slow unraveling of all that tension had my heart racing. When they finally crossed that line, it felt earned, emotional, and incredibly satisfying.
This book lives in that morally gray space I love, where love is messy, obsession is dangerous but romantic, and nothing feels simple. I genuinely enjoyed the lack of unnecessary brother drama, loved seeing familiar characters again, and that glimpse into the next book left me buzzing with excitement.
Dark, obsessive, and ridiculously entertaining, this one hit just right in the best ways.

You’d think with my level of obsession that I would feel jealousy knowing other men have seen her naked, have seen her pleasuring herself for their entertainment, but strangely enough, it’s never occurred to me. In fact, there’s a part of me that loves it. Knowing they can never have her, that she’s mine even if she doesn’t realize it.
No thank you, i don't want to read about an mmc not being jealous, even his virginity can't save it
Sweet and adorably obsessed MMC. They grew up together but he has an aversion to touch bc of his upbringing and doesn’t think he’s good enough for Lexi. He protects her from the shadows for years until he finally cracks.
Safety gang:
V MMC. She gets all his firsts. She isn’t a V but has been celibate a very long time.

This dark mafia romcom features a golden retriever stalker and his best friend’s sister. Lexi is the lonely mafia princess with a secret side hustle no one knows about. She’s a camgirl, but what she doesn’t know is Colt has known about it since beginning and is her highest paid subscriber. Colt is second in command and has been obsessed and stalking Lexi since they were teenagers. His obsession only grew over the years, he kept his distance because he thought he wasn’t good enough for her. Lexi has been crushing on him but never thought he would ever reciprocate her feelings. After seeing her brother Cruz successfully matched with Riley she decided to sign up for the Mafia Matchmaker. Things go sideways fast when Lexi is attacked in the middle of the night. After realizing he could lose her he comes up with a plan and immediately moves her in to his place. He’s done waiting and manipulates the Matchmaker algorithm so they would be a perfect match. Lexi slowly starts to learn the extent of his obsession. At first she has a hard time believing they could match and that he would want her. Colt is frustrated with how long it’s taking to find out who’s after her. The spice was amazing. When he sees she’s gone live from his bed, he rushes home and tells her what to do.

A Few Favorite Quotes: “I need her to understand that she’s wanted. She’s needed. She’s the beginning and the end. The sun and the moon. My very reason for existing.”
“Thankfully I never got to the point of obsession where I started stealing her underwear, so at the very least there’s nothing like that lying around for her to find, but the rest of the apartment may as well be a shrine to her.”
“Now that you’re mine, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep you.”
“The idea of helping my girl harness her pleasure while others watch, none the wiser who’s pulling the strings, makes my c*€k pulse behind my zipper.”
“How is it fair for him to look the way he does while also having such a filthy mouth?”
“I have so many questions, and yet none of them seem as important as kissing Colten.”
“Lexi, I’ve loved you for as long as I’ve known what that word meant. I’ve loved you through every season of our lives, and I’ll continue to love you until de@th and beyond.”
What an odd mish mash of a premise. It didn’t work at all for me. Mafia+camgirl+stalker plus, wait, a mafia-only matchmaking service? Just, no.
The darkness wasn’t convincing, the chemistry wasn’t convincing, the mafia worldbuilding didn’t work at all, and Colton and his obsession just didn’t appeal to me.
This is another one that I wonder about being written by AI.
✨Arc Review✨ The Stalker Match by @montanafyre_author Book 2 in Mafia Matchmaker series Available Jan 9th ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Completely obsessed, I’m talking for decades obsessed with his girl and a mafia underboss…I couldn’t devour this book fast enough.
Lexi is the Mafia bosses little sister. In an attempt to be out of her brothers/family control and have independence, she becomes a cam girl. She’s secretly been in love with her brother’s best friend and mafia underboss, Colten. After an attempt on her life has been made, Colten can’t handle staying away from her any longer and suddenly Lexi is getting a first hand look at how completely OBSESSED Colten has been with her for YEARS!
Lexi and Coltens chemistry was absolutely off the charts. Coltens overall devotion to her had me absolutely swooning, and I don’t care about the red flags! Overall, I loved this book! It’s what l’d call mafia light. It’s got just enough to scratch that itch, without going full dark but all the major elements are there. The plot had me hooked to the point where adulting for the day felt impossible. Do I wish there was more emotional depth in this book? Yes, but honestly this book is a good time that I definitely couldn’t get enough of!
And the set up for the next book in series….I can’t wait!! Rounds like double the trouble and I’m here for it!
*I’d like to say thank you to Montana Fyre and Smuthood for giving me the opportunity to read The Stalker Match as an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
After how much I loved the first book in this series, I was excited to get my hands on an ARC of the second. I went in excited—and slightly apprehensive—because Cruz and Riley were a tough act to follow.
Pretty early on, it’s obvious how lonely Lexi is, and knowing how much Colton already cares about her made my heart hurt for both of them. She’s the last person to realize this man has been absolutely obsessed with her for years—right under her nose while she’s convinced her feelings are one-sided. Colton, meanwhile, has fully talked himself into believing he’ll never be good enough for her, even as he’s quietly centering his entire life around keeping her safe.
Which brings me to the obsession. Because this man does not play around. Trackers in every pair of her shoes. A mirroring app on her phone. Lexi’s a camgirl, and Colton is her anonymous top subscriber. His stalking knows no bounds, but somehow it lands squarely in that morally grey, fiercely protective territory that just works. After Cruz gave him such a hard time in book one for never admitting his feelings, watching Colton have to eat his words here was incredibly satisfying.
This is a fast-paced, intense romance with brothers-best-friend tension and an obsessive MMC who is exactly the kind of unhinged-but-devoted partner Lexi wants. Cruz and Riley are still hard to top, but Lexi and Colton bring something darker to the series—and the setup for book three already has me excited.
- Brother best friend - He falls first and harder - Stalking (by hero and om) - Virgin H - h gets all H first - He hate touch, except the h
They grew up together, and both have always had feelings for each other. H thinks she deserves better, but he’s always kept an eye on her, cameras in her room and tracking her, and when her safety is threatened he’s finally ready to claim her as his.
Safety: - Safe, H is a V, never wanted anyone other than the h. He tried a few dates, but nothing felt right, so he stopped, because all he wanted was the heroine - h have had hookups but been ceilibare a couple of years - h is a cam-girl, and films herself - the H had always watched her in secret
Thanks to The Smuthood for providing the eARC. This is my honest opinion.
A dangerous match filled with obsession and desire
‘The Stalker Match’ is the second book in the Maffia Matchmaker series and can be read as a standalone, although reading the series in order is of course more enjoyable.
The stalker element combined with a love that has secretly been there for years works really well and adds an extra layer to the story. The mafia matchmaker concept remains original and gives the book its own identity. What stood out most was the strong female main character. She knows what she has to do and is anything but a scared girl.
The short chapters create a nice pace and keep the story moving forward. The writing style is simple and accessible, which makes the book very easy to read. The story is clearly plot driven, with the focus more on the progression of events than on extensive character development or subtlety.
The author succeeds in conveying obsession, fear, and desire in a convincing way. There is a strong focus on the inner world of the main characters, while the setting and surroundings play a smaller role.
Definitely curious about the next part, which could turn out to be a lot of fun as well.
3.5 This book was good I had such a fun time reading
What I didn’t love so much: It was kind of hard to believe how the mmc was a mafia man and couldn’t defend himself or get rid of the stalker (another stalker that the fmc had) throughout the majority of the book. I couldn’t get past the fact that he knew he was being followed at one point, got beat up & still let the guy get away 🙃 considering he should be trained for these types of things I didn’t understand.
Things I loved:
How down bad he was for her. It’s rare when a mafia romance involves a virgin mmc , he literally saved himself for her I mean cmon! He is an obsessed man and I’m here for it. 😮💨🔥
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This was a steamy and fun story. OTT obsessed and protective virgin mafia MMC and strong mafia princess who has a penchant for getting kidnapped.
Colten ❤️ Lexie (Wildcat)
Colten has loved Lexie forever. He has tracked and stalked her for years to ensure her safety. He doesn’t believe that he’s good enough for her and so withholds sharing his feelings. He is the underboss in her mafia family and best friend to her brother.
She is a mafia princess looking for a love match and secretly a sexy cam girl. Colten secretly follows her “Wildcat” webcam page and interacts while hiding his identity.
Thankfully, this story does two major things right: - 1). The secrets don’t stay secrets long. There’s no real handwringing. They each are just kind of like. “Yep, we belong together” - 2) There’s no drama with her family. No brothers’ best friend drama. Her mom and brother both know he’s obsessed with her and want them together.
- No third act breakup - No character growth lol - Childhood friends to (mutually) obsessed (although he is OTT) to lovers - No OM/OW. He’s a virgin; only sees her. She goes on one date but it doesn’t go anywhere. She hasn’t been with anyone in years. - Webcam girl mafia princess and tech guy/mafia underboss - She is being harassed, threatened, and stalked by someone who actively wants to harm her - Forced proximity - she almost immediately moves in with Colten after almost being abducted at the family home - Light on the backstory for each; references to book 1, but I didn’t read it and it was fine - Cute cat to keep her company - Lots of sexy times with the webcam stuff and a bit later. Steam seems to be more concentrated in the first half. The webcam stuff also kind of drops away in the second half. - Mostly good communication; he keeps how much he stalked her from her but she keeps finding out. Lol. She gets mad but loves him too much to hold it against him - Dual POV ; marriage in epilogue
Light story; mutually obsessed couple. Some low-key kidnapping drama drives the story.
Why not 5 stars: - the number of times she was called “Wildcat” should be some kind of author related crime - there was zero character growth; it was fun but sparked no emotion
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Okay, I gotta get all my thoughts together here because a LOT just happened in this book!
Montana has done it once again, creating a fictional world I never want to leave!
Lexi and Colten have been in love with each other for yearssss. But neither of them knows how the other person feels. Until Colten rigs the mafia matchmaker system after Lexi almost gets kidnapped and makes him her perfect match. Things start to really heat up 🥵🥵 Lexi, who's still in a bit of shock from the attpted kidnapping (as she should be), agrees to figure out this complicated dynamic with Colten. But she doesn't realize that Colten will do whatever it takes to have her and keep her, including keeping her locked away in his house 'for her safety'. Then, Lexi does actually get kidnapped, and man, when I tell you that Colten is a SIMP for his woman, I mean it! He goes absolutely crazy to get her back, even though he knows that she can fend for herself.
And I am sooo excited for Laken's book now 😍🥵 with two matches??!! Umm yes ma'am!
5 stars for the banter and comedic relief between the characters, it definitely would have been a much heavier book without that.
My first ARC of the year, and this book did not disappoint — in fact, it completely exceeded my expectations! I loved the first book so much; the ease and flow of the story were everything, and both of those carry beautifully into the second book.
Colten’s yearning for Lexi is chef’s kiss. This man cannot stand anyone touching him — but for Lexi? He craves it. He wants it. He seeks it out. And more than anything, he wants her. After years and years of stalking, he finally seizes the perfect opportunity to get what he wants when Lexi stumbles into danger.
I also love how Montana continues to give us furry babies, because a grey tabby cat named Pancake? Absolutely adorable.
As for Lexi, her character was beautifully written. The way she expresses her creativity and confidence through creating spicy content? I loved it. And I loved how both Lexi and Colten just can’t get enough of their exhibitionism kink 🤭🥵
I could go on and on about how good this book is… or you could just read it when it comes out — which I highly recommend you do!
Thank you so much, Montana and The Smuthood for this ARC!
What's better than a stalker? Make it two. Okay, so maybe not better since one of Lexi's stalker is Colten, her brother's best friend who's been obsessed with her forever and for whom she also secretly has feelings for. But the other one is hell-bent on kidnapping her and do god knows what. So when Lexi's life is in danger Colten finally gets his shit together and takes the reins. For him it also means kind of kidnapping her, but you know, semantics. He can't give her up and admiring her from afar is not enough anymore, he's determined to show her they are the perfect match and have been all along. Even if it means a little hacking, stalking, and whatnot is involved.
I adored how obsessed Colten was, Lexi was his top priority no matter what. I just wish we got a few throwback chapters of the past to turn the tension up a notch.
★ ★ ★ ★ satisfied! this is my 5 star for regular reads!!!
First thank you to Smuthood and the Author (Montana Fyre) for allowing me to read as an ARC!
Y’all this book was so good!!! This is definitely mafia lite! You want a Virgin MMC who is OTT/O with his best friend’s little sister? Or a FMC who is naughty and fiery that also loves our mmc? You have the perfect combination of passion, tension, & YEARNING!! Who doesn’t love a mmc who is devoted 100% to our fmc! This is definitely a fun quick read for me! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get into dark romance or just enjoys anything mafia!!
my favorite quote;
“Now that you’re mine, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep you.”
Yes this book was great but it wasn’t super mental health heavy or emotional. Sometimes I had questions about this whole dating app, it felt like it was set and stone when they got matched? But I guess you can throw logistics out when reading this! It was super fun and had a good plot as well that I haven’t read before!!! Thank you again! 💞
I absolutely loved book 1 in this series and didn't think it could be beaten 😱 but Lexi and Colten's story was sheer stalker perfection
I devoured this book in one sitting and most of that sitting was on the edge of my seat
This is an exciting fast paced romance with brothers best friend, obsessive stalker MMC Colten who is the perfect morally grey protective boyfriend Lexi needs and wants but neither of them think they deserve happiness
When a shady character gets too close to Lexi, Colten decides to stop stalking Lexi and just claim her as his 🖤
Their chemistry is off the charts and the spice level was perfect
We get cameo appearances from Riley, Cruz and Mr Whiskers and we get a Pancake 😍
The setup for book 3 is brilliant and I cannot wait to see what happens with Laken, Nico and Declan
Go grab this book and read it immediately, you will not be sorry
Thank you Montana Fyre and The Smuthood for the ARC opportunity
I love the whole story line. Normally mafia stories are based around the guys in the family, not the women. Not this one. This one follows a mafia princess and her life. She sassy as hell, and wants to live her own life. I love the concept of the Mafia Matchmaker site. Only for families in the mafia. So funny to think about in real life terms! Ha.
You get stalkers, dirty talk, spice, sassiness, and tension. What more could you ask for?
I absolutely adored this book! The story development, the character progression, the plot twists and preparation for book 3, all of it was perfection. Insanely sweet, spicy as hell, and hilarious
Where can I find myself a Colten?!?😩 because hello he is a hacker knows how to cook and he is 💯 a GSD but still knows when you need space and actually respects it. He supports her dreams and everything and honestly he reminded me a lot of Caleb from LAD with the obsession the cooking and the cyber stalking. Colt is the underboss while his wildcat Lexi the mafia princess is a cam girl which was a first and honestly the only reason I signed up for this ARC. Did I mention Colt was one of her subscribers????? because yeah that part was definitely fun even if the spice was fluffy and he is a virgin.
They have been pining for each other since they were kids and he is her brother’s best friend which I always eat up😁. I really liked the pets in this book and Cruz was an amazing brother as well as a solid mafia boss. I also appreciated both men training Lexi because that should be a must for women in the mafia. When I say Colt is obsessed the level is completely over the roof!!!!!!
I liked the matchmaking software idea but getting upset and relying so much on its algorithm was a little meh for me. This did not feel like a dark rom com since apart from the stalker there was only some light darkness and I did not laugh like I have with other dark rom coms I have read before. The author was new to me and while they did get their HEA the ending felt open ended.
This is my honest opinion for the ARC I received and thanks to Montana and Smuthood PR for the opportunity.
This book was hilarious. It’s short & funny & was a really good read. I loved Colton & Lexi. Colton & Cruz kept me laughing. Although there were times i yelled at Lexi in my head. Girl, you were already kidnapped before this book & you still wanted to sneak past your bodyguard? Come on now. 🤣🤣
“Just so I’m sure I have this straight, you hacked the Mafia Matchmaker algorithm, matched yourself with Lexi, and now you’ve kidnapped her?” I sigh and brush my hand down my face. Why does he sound so amused by the situation? “I didn’t kidnap her. She got into the car willingly.” He chuckles. “Is she allowed to leave?” “Not without me.” “And does she know you’ve been obsessed with her for years?” “No.” “So, she’s there under false pretenses?” “Yes.” “I hate to break this to you, bud, but you kinda kidnapped her.”
Overall this was a fun read. I cannot wait til Nico’s book. 👀🤔🤣
“Welcome to the simp club, Nico Sinclair. Population: all the men in this room.” 🤣💀
As always, thanks to the Smuthood for the arc. I can’t wait to read more by Montana Fyre!
SOO CUTE! I stand by it when I say that the Mafia matchmaker series is the most adorable and fun mafia romance series I’ve ever read! If you haven’t read the first book then I’ll explain that mafia matchmaker is a dating app that allows mafia heirs and heiresses to marry based on compatibility so women are not stuck in terrible relationships with men that abuse them. You don’t need to have read the first book, since these are standalones but it will help you better grasp the idea and storyline. I just love a brothers best friend romance where the mmc and fmc grew up together and they’ve just had massive crushes on each other since childhood, but are too scared to actually make a move. This book took that trope to the next level, with the yearning, the already clear love between them and how emotional it was when they fought against the barriers that were pulling them apart. There is no better man than Colton because yes he’s a stalker and has a million trackers on her but he always makes sure she’s safe, and he’s her safe space and makes sure he never crosses any boundaries…. Until she’s in danger, he gets jealous and he puts plans into motion (that’s basically half kidnapping). The plot was amazing, I really was not expecting that plot twist, and obviously paired with the chemistry between Colton and Lexi, this book was a masterpiece. Lexi is such a fun character too, she has a huge exhibitionism kink that I loved and also has OF, so I loved how this has a positive outlook on sex work. Overall this book was amazing and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good romcom and some mafia romance. For me it’s a 5/5
Thank you to Samantha at 'The Smuthood' for my advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.
4 ⭐ after reading 'One night match' I was excited to get chosen to read the second in the series. Lexi and Colt were a 'perfect match' with a little bit of help that is 🤣.
Colt has been in love with Lexi for years and has been stalking her just as long, Lexi has always had a crush in Colt who is also her brother's best friend and right hand man. This story has so many amazing tropes, obsessed and protective MMC, one bed, best friends sister / brothers best friend, slow burn. The story was well developed with lots of 🌶️ although it was slow burn when it started it was spicy.
Similar to the first book for me personally the amount of times it was mentioned that they were in the Mafia felt a bit excessive to me. I think given it's a Mafia romance it's obvious they are connected to that world. This however wouldn't stop me reading the next installment.
This has been such a fun series so far. Book two centers around Lexi a mafia princess and Colten an underboss who also is her brother’s best friend. I love the angle of Lexi and Colten being so into each other from when they were kids but just never allowing themselves to be together. Although it is a mafia romance this series is set in a much lighter tone. These mafia men are not your average mafia men. Colten is obsessed but obsessed with Lexi and as big of a stalker that he is, he’s still a softie for his girl - swoon!!! Lexi, much like the FMC in book one, Riley, have some bite to them. She pushes back on Colten and his need to keep her safe. This book reads like a little light rom-com with some mafia romance mixed in. The pace of the writing is perfect for me. I found myself turning pages fast and furious and before I knew it I was at the epilogue. I think you’ll enjoy this story for a different spin on a mafia romance!
Dark Romance Romantic Comedy Stalker Mafia Arranged Marriage
I enjoyed it a lot. It was cute and easy read. I would describe it more in the grey than dark so if you are wanting to dip your toes into the mafia world without going straight into the dark I would 100% recommend this series. This book was great. I enjoyed both the FMC Lexi and MMC Colton. Lexi is a woman who wants autonomy in a world that doesn’t offer a lot to the women and Colton is a man, living in that world and in the biggest morally grey area, who wants to give her it and more. It was definitely a page turner but I just loved the dynamic between the two.
Definitely give it a read if you are looking to dip your toes into the dark romance world or need a break from the heaviness from others. A good balance overall with the MMC/FMC. I do wish there had been just a bit more but I think more will come as the stories continue. _____________________________________________________ Thanks to The Smuthood and Montana Fyre for the opportunity to do an ARC read of the book 🖤
To say that I’m loving this series would be a complete understatement! I absolutely love the mafia matchmaking concept instead of the usual mafia arranged marriage. And the banter, oh the perfect tantalizing banter!
Colten has perfected obsessive stalking in the two decades he’s been in love with his girl. The lengths he’s gone to are so completely out there but it fits so well. Only problem is he’s not nearly as prepared to watch her with someone else as he thought. It’s so much fun to watch him flounder his way through trying keeping her.
Lexi was shunned by her father for not being perfect and that definitely left its mark on her. She found a source of control over her life but that very thing may be what gets her hurt. When she finds herself in the home of her lifelong crush she has a hard time figuring out what to believe and gives him a run for his money.
The journey for these two is an intense one with quite a few bumps along the way. Book 2 did not disappoint and the sneak peak for book 3 has me giddy already.
A mafia romcom with a stalker golden retriever virgin MMC who hates physical touch but craves hers? Yeah... I'm weak at the knees and need to sit down 🫠
Lexi lives a double life: mafia princess by day, spicy content creator by night. She's only ever fallen for two people: her brother's best friend and her number one subscriber. Little does she know, they're the same man.
Colton has loved Lexi from a distance for years, convinced he's not good enough for her. But staying away doesn't stop him from watching her... closely 😏
When Lexi's life is suddenly in danger, Colton realizes just how close he came to losing her. That's when he finally gives in, and Lexi learns just how deep his obsession really goes.
Spicy, suspenseful, lighthearted, and swoony. I devoured this book, and I need the next installment immediately.
• Dark mafia stalker rom com • Arranged marriage • Cam girl • Virgin MMC • it's always been you
The Stalker Match was addictive, unhinged in the best way, and somehow managed to balance dark romance tension with rom-com energy, which honestly shouldn’t work, but absolutely does here. I flew through this one and immediately needed a moment to process everything. 😩
Lexi De Luca is such a compelling FMC. A mafia princess living a double life, confident and bold on the surface but quietly lonely underneath, she felt layered and real. I loved watching her navigate desire, duty, and danger, and the Mafia Matchmaker element was such a fun twist. Knowing the emotional history already tied to her match made the tension absolutely delicious.👀✨
Colten Pierce… whew. If you love morally grey, obsessive, protective men who have loved from the shadows for years, consider this your warning. His internal battle, feeling unworthy while being utterly devoted, made his obsession feel emotional rather than empty. The “I’ll burn the world down for you” energy was STRONG, and I ate it up 🖤
The dynamic between Lexi and Colten was everything I want in a dark romance. The longing, the tension, the possessiveness, and that slow realization that maybe the person who knows you best has been there all along had me fully invested. Add in mafia politics, danger lurking just out of sight, and a man who is always three steps ahead. I was seated.
Dark, spicy, obsessive, but still surprisingly fun, The Stalker Match delivers on its promises and then some. If you love mafia romance with stalker vibes, forced proximity, and a MMC who would do anything to protect his woman, this one needs to be on your TBR 🔥
I’m so excited to continue this series. Montana Fyre is truly an auto-read author for me, and this only reinforced how much I love everything she’s written.
Thank you so much to Montana Fyre for the opportunity to read this ARC 🤍
Honestly it was such a fun read. I didn’t know much about the book before going in just that the mmc was the fmc’s brother’s best friend and that he had been stalking her their entire lives and it did not disappoint. I think it was interesting to have the mmc be the good kind of stalker as well as the fmc having the bad kind of stalker. I like that the books can be read as standalone as well I think based on how this set up what I assume is the next book in the series I may add it to my tbr as well.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I had been looking forward to this arc for months and man did it exceed al my expectations!! This book took a man obsessed to a next level. Colton is definitely a golden retriever kind of stalker and I loved him. I liked how Lexie was as independent as possible while also being a fierce mafia princess and how Colton let her be herself despite his protective tendencies. Together they were so funny and hot. I read one night match last year and fell for this family and Montana’s writing. I love the writing style, the story just flows and you get hooked from the first chapter.
