A classic sort of love story... except somebody might wind up dead.
Nobody knows Delilah like Logan does. Nobody. He makes sure of it by learning everything he can through her social media and watching her through a hidden camera he has trained on her house. Some might call him a stalker. Logan prefers to be called “romantic.”
But after Logan sees Delilah killing her abusive stepfather, he realizes there’s still more about her to discover. His sweet, perfect Delilah isn’t so perfect after all.
Delilah knows she should feel guilty, but all she feels is free. She’s so over the men in her life controlling her. Except Logan saw what she did, and he won’t let her forget it.
Delilah is done being the victim. And she refuses to be a character in Logan’s twisted fantasy. If Logan won’t let her go… she’ll make him.
Okay seriously I can’t even.
I can’t even.
OMG what did I just read? A whole bunch of awesome that’s what.
Our boy Logan here, can get any girl he wants. Or so everyone thinks. No one realizes that Logan is a little, well…
Our girl Delilah though, she knows. She knows because Logan has his gaze fixed on her. And he’s not going to get her go.
Not unless she makes him.
I really can’t give anything away because I don’t want to ruin the book but let me just say that it is so much friggin fun. Logan is IN LOVE. No, YOU don’t understand. It’s the most amazing love ever. What girl couldn’t possibly want to be loved like this? Oh, she just doesn’t udnerstand. Well, good thing Logan is SO undertanding. And patient. And wonderful. (all of this in sarcastic voice.)
And Delilah, she is no damsel in distress. She is taking matters into her own hands and even when good girls are backed up against the wall, they bite and scratch their way out. Maybe even kill?
It’s a game of cat and mouse but which is which? I love how Delilah and Logan both have POV. You can really hear the intensity of each voice, really feel their frustrations and helplessness as the plot reaches a high pitched climax that no one expected.
I ate this book up in two days. I could not put it down. Even now, I’m thinking of it. I want to gift it to people because it is so much fun and exciting. It’s You for YA. And that is not a bad thing. Honestly, this book was so unique and refreshing. I love how different it was. Creepy and uneasy and fantastically dark and dirty.
Bravo.
