i’m a CREEP: Roberts, Jaimie, BookJunkie, Kim, Creations, Pretty in Ink: 9798507522293: Amazon.com: Books

Who would have thought you could tie so many elements together and come out with a believable, captivating story? Bully romance, age gap, taboo, suspense thriller. This one does it and with deliciously creepy twists topped by steam. Oh and there are secrets….

What happens when you push a good girl to the edge? You unearth her fundamental self; you flip a switch from victim to confident, spirited avenger. You expose her monster. Bryce, initially a meek and conforming girl, took on those who had wronged her with aplomb, and all with careful planning that comes with being pushed too far.

The past meets present style in which each chapter alternated, depicted like pieces of events, past then present, rather than a linear story, actually worked in this book. And while at times I got the timelines mixed up as they started to converge, it was more a matter of being completely engrossed and not wanting to make that mental switch. It was like mini cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, keeping you just on the edge until that mind-blowing, climatic conclusion. (I would love to read about them in a future epilogue.)

Sexy couple, taboo relationship, this book was hot at the center of the sun level. Off. The. Charts! So much steam…one of the steamiest I’ve read and likely enriched by the taboo nature of the storyline too.

Elijah was the possessive, controlling alpha…stepfather (“daddy”) and Bryce, his would-be submissive, feigned her little girl role. But don’t let her youth fool you. She was in complete control. No virginal, daddy knows better than young girl trope here (thank you), though this book also played upon the daddy role, in an original way. Side character were majorly integral to the plot despite many of whom being unredeemable; their importance to the storyline wove the framework of Bryce’s retribution. I loved the few noteworthy ones, including Frank, the neighbor; and Elijah’s, as Chief of Police, work force.

Unputdownable! One of the few books ever that I could not stop reading, dying to know what would happen next. This story epitomized obsessive love, taking control, sexual confidence, and flawed character acceptance. Perfect couple, made for each other. This book…absolutely shattering and one of my two favorites this year.
