Queen B’s Decree: I can’t resist a fictional stalker. Oh, someone who is obsessed with the heroine (but not in the true crime kind of way) and is full of loyalty and sweetness? Yes, please.
Adam and his friends call themselves the Soldiers of Anarchy and they run their broken-down part of town where they essentially provide vigilante justice. Adam is played up as this crazy psycho with no conscious, but I felt like some of his actions were almost like caricatures of what a psycho should act.
He meets Olivia after a run in with her friends and he is immediately captivated by her. I loved how devoted he was to her and yet he never crossed that threshold of being too stalker-y or too creepy. And while Olivia bickers and claims to want to be left alone, she seems drawn to Adam and somehow charmed by his obsession.
The pacing was done well and I thought the progression of their relationship was worthwhile. The Psycho is a bit of a slow burn, but the chemistry between them is fire. The connection between them was electric.
Some actions and descriptions were over the top and unrealistic, but overall The Psycho was a great stalker romance with an interesting storyline and plot.
