Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Trope: stalkerAngst: ???Smexy: ????Siân and Christian both come from mafia families in Italy and were promised to each other as children, but her father later reneged on the deal. Her parents died shortly after and Siân disappeared. Christian has been tracking her on and off for years, but he's ready to make his move and he's not going to let anyone stand in his way.This one definitely falls under the "what in the holy h€ll did I just read and I want more right now" category, lol. This story gripped you right from the beginning and had you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Well written with awesome characters ❤. First you have our heroine, Siân. She's always having to play it safe, but she's feeling confined by her life. I loved that she was kind of a hot mess. She wants someone to take control, but she's also tired of being a doormat. Then we have "violence is my love language" Christian ??. The PERFECT anti-hero. If you like your heroes with a heavy dose of psycho and a soft spot only for his girl, he'll definitely tick your all your boxes. Tons of psychological manipulation going on throughout the entire book, basically Siân's getting it shoveled at her from every direction. I can't wait to see if and how she develops as a character after finding out all the truth bombs that went off at the end of this book and that will certainly continue into the next one. Can't fracking wait!! ??Perfect Villain is the first book in the Dark Lies duet. It does end on a cliffhanger. The story will conclude with Beautiful Monster. The story is told in first person, from dual perspective.
