4.5/5 ⭐️

I loved this! I was hooked from the start! It has everything, great spice, twist and turns, amazing plot, masked men, pierced peens, stalkers!

Do check trigger warnings before reading but I definitely recommend this! Also the audio is fantastic! The narrators do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life!

Really enjoyed this dark thriller, stalker romance. I'm a big fan of MFM, especially when it comes to a duo, add in stalker vibes and HELLO! I really don't want to give anything away here, so I'll be careful because the twist is amazing.

If you love Criminal Minds, you'll love this masked, stalker romance.

RATING - 4.5 STARS

“I know I should feel guilty about the path I’m taking. I’m not just breaking the rules, I am pouring gasoline on the rule book and setting it alight while roasting marshmallows over the flames.”

Hunt Me Darling was not quite what I expected when I dived in. I do love me some masked men and stalking so for that alone I was quite pleased.

Interesting concept

Hmmm...tough one to rate. The story was definitely interesting. I loved the guessing element to it and literally did a little dance when the MMCs were revealed. The spice was great!

I don't know if it was the audio or that I didn't gel with the writing style, but I can't rate it higher. But I do think that a lot of others will enjoy this

This has some very dark themes and moments, so please read triggers. ...more

I devoured this as an audio within 2 days. Yeah it was dark and spicy and nothing wrong with that. Loved the narrators who have made me want to listen to lots more by Maree now too.
