This wasn't even a romance omg I feel like that's misleading marketing. It's definitely a thriller and psychological work at best. I did enjoy reading it, all problems side so it gets a 3/5. The writing at some points is definitely beautiful if not quotable and the characters bring their best unhinged the forefront.
Greyson is... definitely a lot to digest as a Male Lead. He's not what you'll technically and tbh I think what he experiences is closer to obsession than it is to love.
Dr. Noble is the main POV for most of the book and tbh she holds well on her own. I do have small issues with how quickly she found herself being manipulated by Grayson but over all I liked her.
Can't really comment on the accuracy of the psychology, diagnoses and other Profesional jargon and the like but seems like the author knows what she's talking about

I didn’t get super attached to these characters or story. While they were interesting and the story was super intriguing (basically just a Harley Quinn/Joker reimagined) it fell flat and the ending pissed me off. I do want to finish the story but I’ll probably just end up making an HEA in my head. Grayson is definitely one of the darker MMCs I’ve read and I loved that aspect but I didn’t really feel the chemistry and the “softer” side of Grayson (even though its not much softer) wasn’t very believable. The FMC (honestly can’t remember her name rn) didn’t start out to me at all. Her

I simply didn’t want to put this book down once I began, in a similar way as the Mindf*ck series. I’d also describe this as a combination between Dexter, Criminal Minds, and Hannibal. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a dark psychological thriller & romance!
I would advise looking into any content warnings before reading this book. Some that I’ve noted (but not a complete list): descriptive gore, kidnapping (mentioned), physical abuse, psychological torture, pedophilia (mentioned).
Note: Grayson and London are toxic people who are even worse when together, and I acknowledge that. However, I still adored seeing their darkness intermingle and I laughed at the wild nature of their relationship.
