Pretty Obsessions Series by A.J. Merlin

It’s a harmless way for a college student to make extra money… until it isn’t. I’m careful not to show my face, so why do I feel like I’m being watched when the camera turns off? No one should know who I am or be able to find me, but they do, and things quickly spiral out of control. The two unhinged men who fill my cam chat with all the deplorable things they want to do to me are closer than I think... moreIt’s a harmless way for a college student to make extra money… until it isn’t. I’m careful not to show my face, so why do I feel like I’m being watched when the camera turns off? No one should know who I am or be able to find me, but they do, and things quickly spiral out of control. The two unhinged men who fill my cam chat with all the deplorable things they want to do to me are closer than I think. To them I’m just a pretty little tease, and their obsession turns into something so much more than I bargain for. I should have run away when they found me, because now it’s too late for me to be anything except theirs. less

I should’ve been able to leave them in the past, especially once I’d gone home for winter break. Yet as soon as my plane touches down in St. Augustine, my sweetest nightmares are waiting for me, reminding me of all of the reasons I can’t stop thinking about them. I tell myself that I need to end this before I’m the one with a knife in my stomach; that Oliver and Rook are the worst kind of people and certainly not capable of love... moreI should’ve been able to leave them in the past, especially once I’d gone home for winter break.

When I’m back at school for my last few weeks of college, I find normalcy for the first time in months. Despite getting comfortable, I can’t give Rook and Oliver the answer they so clearly want, even if it’s not the one they want to hear. They have to understand it’s not that easy. Don’t they? But following them across the country brings more than just new house problems and adjusting to their lifestyle. Issues from not so long ago come to light, and I realize I’m not as normal as I’d hoped to be, after killing my professor for what he did to me. With a new ‘friend’ who offers me the help I need and Rook keeping secrets that prove he doesn’t trust me, it’s hard to rely on anyone for answers. Especially when old urges creep up my spine and I start looking for reasons to hurt someone for what I’ve seen him do. When I’m no longer able to attribute my urges to an external predator, I’m forced to confront a terrifying possibility. Maybe I’ve always been more like them than I thought. Pretty Little Monster is the third and final book in the pretty obsessions trilogy. It includes MMF, MFM, MM, and mature, murderous content. less
