I really enjoy dark romance books, specifically ones that ends like this one did. 

I loved Mara's corruption arc and the way her and Cole come together and become a murderous power couple at the end.

There were some eerie and slightly scary moments but it was also oddly fun to read. Cole and Mara's contrasting character developments that eventually leads them to meet halfway between their moral values and ideologies were very endearing and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them grow and change each other.

This book had more of a thriller vibe to it and I loved it. Mara is crazy and Cole is a literal psychopath but they are made for each other. Kinda love that they’re obsessed with each other. Once again, check trigger warnings
