De: Rina Kent

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Mackenzie Cartwright

From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a dangerously dark stalker hockey romance.

Can I outrun his merciless obsession?

I accidentally witnessed a brutal murder. I froze, pretended I saw nothing, hoping I could leave it behind. But my plan backfired, and my life spiraled downward. Now, I’m the target of cold-blooded revenge.

Jude Callahan isn’t just a hockey god—he’s a devil no one dares to cross. My existence disrupts his stardom, prestige, and possible serial killer career choice. And he’s set out to make me pay for that moment of silence.

No matter how much I run or hide, he finds me, watching from the shadows. Like a predator. I thought he’d stop at the stalking. Or even better, he’d kill me and finally end my misery. But Jude has other plans.

He says I can’t die. I have to pay for my sins. And just like that, he drags me into his depraved world, kicking and screaming.

My thoughts:
the ending was okay
i loved jude so much
the story could’ve been better
beautiful venom was 10 times better
preston was the best thing in the book

Preston stole the show!

I have mixed feelings about this one. It was just meh. I think the story picks up about 70-ish% through but overall it wasn’t my favorite. Preston was the real MVP of this whole story.

They just get better and better

5 ⭐️ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

Seriously I don’t know how Rina just continues to elevate and elevate these characters, their stories, and this massive universe but it’s insane.

Jude is the most perfect down bad obsessed man in the world. His support and constant validation of Violet was so beautiful. Him telling her he’s proud of her? Perfection.

Violet intrigued me from the very beginning of this series and I have been so blown away by her character development.

Honorary mention goes to Preston because OBVIOUSLY (I cannot wait for July) and Teddy Hamilton & Mackenzie Cartwright. Their performance was perfection as per usual. 🤭

Well Damn!!!

I’m a huge Rina Kent fan!!! Her books never disappoint and this one definitely didn’t. Loved everything about this book.

Good.

Overall it was a good read. I liked Jude and loved Preston, can’t wait for his book. I honestly found Violet so annoying always ” woe is me” mentality. Daliah was really annoying in this book.
