My Review
'H𝐀U𝐍T M𝐄'
Is the first full length novel in the (Deadly Sin) series by Monique Koen. Spoken in 'Dual POVs.. Argent and Starlet
An obsessed hero and a pure heroine
I saw this pop up on my newsfeed a few times and couldn't help but #oneclick it, the blurb aka word STALKER 🚩 made me do it!! And who doesn't love a good stalker book..
I think I need therapy because I kind of fell for this stalker, like he wasn't too bad, he only broke into her house a few times 🤷♀️ watched her sleep a few times, installed a camera without her knowledge (that's ok isn't it) and followed her everywhere oh and he even killed for her (well the guy did touch his property) Nope no red flags here at all. 0800therapy

This is Monique Koen's debut novel which surprised me because her writing style runs faultlessly to the point I thought she was a seasoned author so this has impressed me even more. This pulled me in straight away, a little bit dark but not too dark for new peeps dipping their toes into this genre.
Almost twenty-four year old Starlet is hiding the fact that she's studying criminology and not following in her parents footsteps and studying law as they seem to think, throw in the fact that she's always felt unloved and unwanted compared to her sister whom both parents dote on, has made her forge her own path in life, by leaving home, earning her own money, and studying what she wants to study has finally made her a stronger person tethering the hold her parents had on her.
Argent is a different kettle of fish altogether, He's not set foot back in Chicago near on eight years but business has brought him back on his home turf. During his childhood he's struggled with a few mental health issues which had him institualised. He deals in drugs and guns and isn't afraid to get his hands bloody.
I was a bit surprised how close he is with her best friend’s brother that these two hadn’t crossed paths sooner.
A few twists and turns which came out of nowhere which I loved, throw in the cliffhanger and I’m definitely ready for the next book.
