I saw this on Booktok back in October 2023 and figured it might be something I could be into. I love horror and I could be into 'dark romance' type things, but it kind of fell flat for me. Maybe it's my need for detail and immersion, but I've never been much of a fan of insta-love/obsession. Sadie was horny on main the entire time and I was like 'she needs to be hosed down' because she essentially looks at this masked, blood-spattered stranger and goes 'mhm yes I like his vibes'. I did appreciate that he went after the guys that the girls went in with because they felt like the worst. But, fucking in the middle of a tension riddled chase scene was...definitely a moment. I appreciate smut as much as the next person, but I've found better examples elsewhere.
