A trilogy opener whose very title evokes irresistible, intrusive fixation, this stalker romance leans into the helplessness of obsession on both sides. Expect creeping dread, possessive devotion, and a hero who treats wanting as something closer to disease than desire. For readers drawn to morbidly romantic intensity and the suffocating gravity of being someone's compulsion, this promises an unsettling, addictive descent.
