Depraved by AJ Merlin

4/5 stars

Mmmm Depraved called to my soul in a very delicious way. God, Virgil was beautiful! Nothing screams sexy like a deadly, possessive stalker!

I loved how Virgil acknowledged Sloane’s PTSD and helped her work through it was really special. Even though he was a psychopath and could potentially be called unstable, he still supported Sloane and was really romantic with her in his way. They were really good together! Literal combustion!

I do wish that so much wouldn’t have happened “off camera” though. I really wanted to see Sloane interact more with Jed, Wren, and Cass. I’d love to see her integrating with them and them warming to her and embracing her in the group. I feel like I missed a step or two in their relationship between their first meeting and showing up at her cabin.

Fantastic book, though! I read it so quick because I was fascinated with the characters (mostly Virgil). I’m definitely going to dive into the rest of this series!
