She calls me Hudson...
But they know me as Pete.
A simple man with a common name
They see the warm smile of their neighbor,
Not the cold eyes of a man who kills for the thrill of it and sleeps like a baby afterward
Until Starling
My son’s girlfriend and my new obsession
She falls into my lap like a wounded bird with broken wings
Branding me with her touch, making me an addict after just one taste
She thinks I’ll give her up once she gives in
But she’s never met a man like me before
And Forbidden Fruit was always my favorite.
He calls me Birdie...
But they know me as Starling.
A strange girl with a pretty name
I’m the orphan everyone pities
A perpetual victim who has spent more time on her knees than most
Until Hudson
He's a monster of his own making
One who crosses all my lines and pushes every limit
He doesn’t want to free me; he wants to cage me
And if I resist, he’ll destroy the only boy I’ve ever loved.
After all, monsters don’t win hearts
They steal them.
Author note: There are no heroes in this story, no sweet declarations of love or hard-earned redemption arcs.
But then, some girls don’t need a hero to save them; they need a villain willing to burn right along with them.
**This book plays with the darker side of love, such as obsession, infatuation, and the power plays made to obtain it.**
It goes without saying that this book contains dark elements that some readers will find uncomfortable. A list of potential trigger warnings can be found inside this book.
Readers must be aged eighteen or over because therapy is expensive.

Трохи розчарована книгою, бо попередні 2 були досить на високому рівні.
Тут поставила 3, напевно тільки за age gap, так як це один з моїх улюблених тропів.
Максимально не приємний головний герой, який після всього що пережила головна героїня, робив теж саме що і інші. До неї питань менше, так як їй 18, і розуму не набралась.
Було кілька моментів які сподобались, командна робота з Атласом і Кензо. Тату головниї героїв це досить мило. І також спогодати головної героїні про маму.
Дочитала чисто, щоб закрити гештальт.
