She calls me Hudson
But they know me as Pete
A simple man with a common name
They see the warm smile of their neighbor,
Not the cold eyes of a man who kills for the thrill of it and sleeps like a baby afterward
Until Starling
My son’s girlfriend and my new obsession
She falls into my lap like a wounded bird with broken wings
Branding me with her touch, making me an addict after just one taste
She thinks I’ll give her up once she gives in
But she’s never met a man like me before
And Forbidden Fruit was always my favorite.
He calls me Birdie …
But they know me as Starling.
A strange girl with a pretty name
I’m the orphan everyone pities
A perpetual victim who has spent more time on her knees than most
Until Hudson
He’s a monster of his own making,
One who crosses all my lines and pushes every limit
He doesn’t want to free me; he wants to cage me
And if I resist, he’ll destroy the only boy I’ve ever loved.
After all, monsters don’t win hearts
They steal them.
Author note: There are no heroes in this story, no sweet declarations of love or hard-earned redemption arcs.
But then, some girls don’t need a hero to save them; they need a villain willing to burn right along with them.
**This book plays with the darker side of love, such as obsession, infatuation, and the power plays made to obtain it.**
Triggers: It goes without saying that this book contains dark elements that some readers will find uncomfortable, including offense!ve language, graphic v!olence, explicit s@xual situations, and often a combination of all three.
Readers must be aged eighteen or over because therapy is expensive.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the third book in the Death in Bloom Series. You can read this book as a standalone but I have loved the other two book too. I will go ahead and tell you that this a taboo book that will have you checking your morals more than once. The prologue will put you in a tailspin really and this book does not let up until you have finished. This is the story of Starling and Hudson, her best friends father. When she was a child she lived through things that nightmares are made of. However her best friend kept her sane.I don’t know that I can tell you a thing about this book. I think you need to go into it blind and buckle up. There are true villains in this book but you have to figure out who the villain really is. There are twists and turns and I promise you will not want to lay this book down. These two have some chemistry going on and really fight what is going on between them. Hudson is more than a little obsessed and I’m so sure that he isn’t totally insane. I loved reading this book. It was absolutely amazing.
