It's a dark romance that features minimal depravity, but the perfect amount of evil to keep me happy. Celia successfully, and at a very fast pace, brings the Stockholm syndrome-esque situation to life. They shouldn't work as a couple, we've all been told the villain doesn't get the girl, but when Camille is her true self she and Sebastian just work. Sebastian, though, sees deep inside her and his complexities bring out hers. She has a boring relationship, she teaches, and her friend constantly tries to break her from her shell. Camille, our good girl with dark desires, seems boring at first. There's office, men in business suits, bars, and plenty of opportunities for one women to disappear in the blink of an eye. Unlike Celia's more gothic tales, The Bad Guy takes place in a city that reads like many others. You have the friends, the students, the dad, the boyfriend, and you have the heroine and the villain. The Bad Guy gives us two complex main characters, a questionable secondary character, and a handful of background characters that bring this dark romance to life.
