I never imagined I'd lose my heart to the man who stole my freedom, but now I'm caught in a web of desire I can't escape.

I was just a small-town girl with big dreams of creating video games. But when Phoenix, the carnival's enigmatic hacker, set his sights on me, my world turned upside down. His ice-blue eyes terrified and tempted me, drawing me into a twisted game of obsession and desire.

Kidnapped and thrust into his dark world, I quickly realized I was in over my head. Phoenix was dangerous, brilliant, and hauntingly alluring. His past trauma fueled a need for control that both frightened and fascinated me.

Every attempt to reclaim my freedom had me sinking deeper into his intricate maze of manipulation. I became his possession, with no chance of escape. My death was faked, my old life erased, and I belonged to him completely.

As the carnival lights flicker and the darkness closes in, I must do I fight against the chains that bind us or surrender to the intoxicating pull of our shared madness?

Carnival Stalker is a dark romance with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. A full list of the warnings will be found on my website. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.

Overall Opinion :

This one was a quick read for me. I was craving something twisted but short to read and I picked this one up. I don't remember where exactly I found it from , probably in some FB thread about books , but it was good! I loved the twisted themes and even though I expected it to be more dark based on the title , it was kind of tame. The storyline was smooth and things went over good pretty fast without any major plot twists or anything. I liked the way things started and the ending was good too.

I have saved this author and might even pick up other books of the series as we see a few cameos in this one. Recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there! If you are craving something dark and twisted to ease your mind , do read this.
