FBI forensic profiler Agent Alexandra Darling is known for her unsettling affinity for murderers and their victims.

As she joins a task force assigned to capture a notorious duo of killers, her forbidden fascination with the twisted motivations behind their crimes takes a dangerous turn.

Delving deep into the darkness, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous game that blurs the lines between hunter and hunted, love and obsession. One that would forever redefine her understanding of desire, and the depths of her own soul.

She quickly learns nothing is what it seems. Alexandra's journey will test the limits of her sanity at the same time as it challenges her perceptions of justice.

Will she be just another victim? Or do they have something different in mind for their little Darling?

Maree's Note: Warning, this book is a whychoose MFM dark contemporary romance. It contains very explicit 18+ dark, sexual content, and straight-up smut. The male leads are not prince charming, they are villains with psycho tendencies and therefore there is stalking, obsessive and possessive behavior, unaliving people, and lots of dark and twisted content. There is a warning list at the front of the book but please feel free to reach out to me on social media prior to purchasing. Proceed at your own risk, if you dare. All the characters are 18+

Title: Must read
Review: This does have some troupes that you definitely want to be aware of and make sure you're okay with but if you are..... you're in for an AMAZING read. Especially if you like MFM, or why choose romance. There is a bit of cat and mouse in this one. The female main character Alexandra Darling is a FBI forensic profiler hunting two serial killers. She is known for her odd sense when it comes to the darkness that serial killers have. While hunting them, she ends up having to face her own darkness. The spice and plot twist are both 5/5. if you're into the darker side of romance you'll appreciate the romance part of this book. The plot twist had me upset with myself. I was sure I figured it out and was getting upset that I did. Next thing I knew, I didn't have a clue, and that made the twist even better than I could have imagined it was going to bed. The back and forth in this book is amazing. I loved the banter, the slow but not to slow burn from the female main character. I loved how Maree Rose wrote this from all main character prospective. I was not a fan however, about how the characters kept referring to their inner darkness. I was a mix of the amount of times and just the wording around it. That was really my only negative. I loved the book and I didn't read the troupe warnings so there was a few scenes that made me do a double take and check in with myself. But they weren't to graphic and Maree tastefully wrote them, so they were not intensely triggering. I also loved the ending, I love how she played with the characters names from childhood games. All in all I can't wait to read book 2. 5/5 starts and is easily a Fav.Fav Quotes:"God isn't here Little Darling. We are you're devils and we own your soul." - Dare"We will never apologize for things we do in our efforts to show you that you belong with us." - Truth"Don't mistake us for good men, Little Darling. There is no line we wont cross to keep you by our sides." - Truth

Title: Interesting
Review: It was a good book and I loved the ending. However It kept repeating the same things every chapter, which was the same thing over and over with the investigation. That got kind of old. It could have been written better with more details and points to get across. I don't think I'll be reading book 2.

Title: Just okay…
Review: I gave this book 3/5 because it’s just hard to hang in there through the whole thing. The story line and plot are great! Very creative. The characters are good for the most part. The writing and dialogue are not great. It’s very repetitive and the characters speak like they’re robots. It’s not normal conversation or responses. I love a good dark romance if it’s well written. This one is just a little too corny for my liking. I finished the book, but probably won’t read anything else by this author.

Title: Oh if I could be "Little Darling".
Review: Full of fantastic twists and turns. I love the devotion to Agent Darling that her stalkers have. Full of blood pumping smut yet the sweetest aftercare. The storyline sadly, was repetitive in areas making it a little rough to stick with but the ending makes it VERY worth it!

Title: LOVE this story!!
Review: One of the most unique books I’ve read in a while. I loved the dark theme and thought it was well written. Immediately got into the story line and I couldn’t get enough of the ‘bad’ guys. Waiting with bated breath for book number 2. Definitely here for this new to me author. I’ll be starting another of her books while waiting for #2 to come out. Thanks!

Review: Cenas de hot Mt boas, mas o romance taboo me incomodou (apesar dos irmãos não fazerem nd entre si, eles ainda tem várias cenas juntos c ela). Se vc gosta então, é pra vc. Além, dos hot, ponto positivo pra quem era o Truth e Dare, q era quem eu esperava/ queria. Ponto negativo, (****spoiler****) acrescentam gravidez no final, Tb n eh minha vibe (mas se é a sua, top). Outra coisa que me incomodou foi o uso da mesma palavra repetidamente pela autora em uma mesma pagina/parágrafo em várias instâncias. Isso já n da pra defender kkk Mas surpreendentemente foi melhorando da página 200 mais ou menos pra frente. Plot legalzinho, e me surpreendi com o qnt gostei da progressão da relação deles (menos no finalzinho kkk). Deu pra curtir 😁

Review: At first it isn't very obvious, but the repetitions and the way the sentences are, speaks clearly of AI. The dialogue feels stiff and the characters all sound the same. I dont know how people can enjoy this? But after four chapters I was done.
