    Nicholas sees Phoebe on campus & starts stalking her, which is more of watching, protecting & following her around in public places only. More of a light stalking than other books I have read, he surprisingly doesn't know much about her life. He blackmails her into "interacting" with him, which their relationship from this drums up the sexual tension between the two. The relationship is a very slow burn. It never made too much sense why he thought he couldn't be with her & that he was a monster (it does explain why later in the book, but the reasoning to me wasn't sound enough). I would have liked to see a deeper emotional development build up into love, but overall, an enjoyable, fast-paced book. A couple of quotes from Nicholas that made me giggle: "Stalking wasn't easy. People didn't give credit to stalkers & they should, that level of dedication couldn't be bought." "I wanted to tell her she was never leaving here. But that would make me sound like a kidnapper. I wasn't that bad yet." The audio narration was excellent.
