Ripper wanted her fear,
Instead, he ignited her fury.
And now, he will face his reckoning.

This is going down in the top 10 for 2025. But I have beef with the author. As I have been left needing more, and now I am being told I need to wait like a child waiting dessert before dinner.
The detective investigation felt real, the calls were like watching a cop show, you had your typical rookie annoyance between seniority, spice, anger, fun, careful.
I was laughing, crying, snorting, screaming in frustration. I went through all of the emotions, with this one. And now I shall impatiently wait and stalk the author for book 2
Goodreads Reviews
A Killer’s Obsession by D. R. Brooks is a thrilling debut that hooked me from the prologue and refused to let go. The story unfolds through three viewpoints: Raelynn, our fierce FMC; Emilio, the grumpy yet beautiful police officer whose protective streak hides simmering feelings; and the killer, whose chilling obsession with Raelynn casts a shadow over everything. I loved the depth of the characters—the push-pull tension between Raelynn and Emilio evolves into a romance full of spice and emotion, while the killer’s perspective adds a layer of unease that kept me turning pages late into the night. The cliffhanger ending left me desperate for book two. Will love survive? Will obsession consume them? I can’t wait to find out.
This book is a roller coaster of emotions—equal parts passion and terror. It’s not for the faint of heart, as there are several triggers, but if you’re ready for a dark, addictive ride, I highly recommend it.
A Killer's Obsession is an obsession unto itself.
Right off the hop we have a prologue that leaves you in the dirt, in the dust; just sitting there with your mouth wide open because, "WTF JUST HAPPENED!?!?!?!?!"
The plot then takes you on what I can only describe as a rollercoaster because that tension, that adrenaline you feel in your toes when you know the drop is coming? Yeah. Be prepared to be edged for over 300 pages and then left standing in the rain with a boom box begging D.R. Brooks for book 2 because that cliffy..... its a doozy.
This was an insanely satisfying read from top to bottom. Cliffy included, because I like em to grab me by the throat and hold me hostage. Hostage I am held until book 2!
