Book Review: Prey Upon Me

 

ANNA
I don’t attract bad boys.
No, I attract bad men.

My relationship with the last one left me with no choice but to abandon everything I knew to escape his abuse, only for me to collide into someone just as dangerous, if not more so.

I'm in a new city where no one knows my name. All I’m looking for is a job, but when I go to an interview with the hopes of becoming a sales associate, I find myself in the midst of a jewelry heist that turns deadly.

I’m taken hostage by the masked robber, and though I manage to escape, my kidnapper evades the police. I try to move on, but I can’t shake off the feeling that I’m suddenly being watched everywhere I go. Even inside my own apartment.

And I can’t stop thinking about a certain pair of blue eyes behind the mask that now plagues my dreams. The police assure me that the man responsible for my abduction won’t be coming after me…
But what if he already is?

KNOX
Revenge has been my only driving force these past four years. My plan is perfect…until one woman threatens to ruin it all. She knows more than she realizes, proving to be the only person who could identify me in the jewelry heist. I begin watching her every move out of necessity, but the more I see, the more it turns into obsession. She becomes all I can think about, and before long, I can’t settle for keeping a safe distance. She’s mine now, whether she knows it or not.

Prey Upon Me is a 100k-word standalone that contains dual POVs, explicit content, masked men, stalking, and a morally gray MMC who will do anything for his woman. This book has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA. The complete list of trigger warnings is on the author’s website that can be found in the book’s front matter.


My Review
In the beginning, I struggled with Anna. Her anxiety was very high and the fact that she had not gone out of her apartment for months and was scared of any noise she heard had me very anxious. I was actually kind of stressed out and felt like while she was relatable with what she was experiencing, I felt like she was weak. 

However, the tides changed later in the story and Anna has bite to her. I liked seeing this sassy side of her as I felt like she really felt comfortable in her own skin. Knox did help bring this out in her. The witty banter is great. I love witty banter. 

Although, you know someone that I don't like but hate is Sabastian. Yet, there always has to be that one person you don't like to keep the story interesting. Knox is someone that I do love. This is a really good book and one that readers will want to pick up.
