This book was so compelling. I was immediately into it. I loved the heroine, which I don't do often. She was realistic, but just couldn't help herself and I got that. Because everything Dare did was just... ugh.
Dare was psycho, but still.... Gods, I just have no words.
This couple is weird, cute and psycho all at the same time. I loved it.
My first book of her, and sure gonna read more.

It’s Sam Mariano, so it’s dark. The story is good, but I wanted more from Dare after it came out what he did.

Please check the triggers because this one has several of them.
Dare is not a hero, he is a psychopath who pushes Aubrey to be with him in such a way that as a reader you just shake your head while reading. Yet at the same I live for it.
I absolutely loved this book. It’s dark and spicy.

I am absolutely feral over this shit.
Thanks to the authors note I was imagining Jacob Elordi as Dare the whole time and that only made me intensely more delirious.
Massive trigger warnings. This gets wild and Dare only gets increasingly dangerous as the book goes on.
I needed a good dark romance in my life and this delivered. There’s just such a thrill with finding a new well rounded bully romance.
The only insta-love you’ll find here is the “touch her and you’ll die” kind and we all know that that is the only acceptable kind.

This book was one sick, twisted, intriguing ride of a book!
I've read quite some twisted characters in books, but this was was different and on a another (better) level. I didn't know what to expect in the beginning, I was baffled in the middle and just when I thought I knew where this was going, I was thrown on a bumpy rollercoaster. The anxiety was real because the mmc is a psycho, but the way Sam Mariano wrote him, makes me feel so conflicted and I love that. It feels like my fictional morals have been compromised

I really wanted to love it but the female protagonist was a nincompoop. She has someone who looks out for her, the one person and she keeps throwing her under the bus… the selfishness and her one brain cell acting didn’t do much… the story was great if not much detail about her was offered… or at least IF she didn’t throw the one person (Hannah)who put herself in danger for her… she never did one thing for Hannah, not 1! Not even standing up for her… that’s when she didn’t have words 🙄 gimme a break… she was so disappointing… I’d love to hear more about Hannah if she gets a book… any side character had more personality than the main character….

this is DARK like very very fucking dark. i read ‘untouchable’ by sam mariano and thought that was intense and had an unlikeable, evil mmc but dare is on a completely other level. he’s genuinely terrifying. i do love the ending though, it makes complete sense why audrey stays with him because what other choice does she really have?

To sum it up: way too much OW drama for me. You got a girlfriend AND the girlfriends sister ( neither of them the h). Nah, too much for me.
Bro, what? First, let me start by saying I love Sam. Love her obsessive dark heroes that think no means yes. However, Dare was on a whole new level. A diabolical level. I will say the OW drama was a lot to handle (yes, I could handle everything else just fine, judge me if you must). I read some pretty foul things but this book had me DISTRESSED the entire time. This is the first romance (can I even call it that?) novel that a HEA would be for Audrey to kill Dare. I couldn’t see any other happy ending
