There are no words for what this book did to me but I’m gonna try anyway
Tristan Caine is IT everyone. This silent, broody man has won my heart 
It’s actually insane to me how good these books are! I’ve read many many books with this type of mmc but Tristan is so unique with his personality. He didn’t come across like all the other silent, morally grey mmc’s at all and I feel like that is something really hard to achieve with all the books out there
The enemies to lovers aspect was done amazingly. I could really feel the hatred and the way it only fueled the sexual tension between Morana and Tristan. The way they slowly let each other in and started trusting and caring for each other felt so real and authentic

I was a sobbing mess for the last 20%, I have died dead. That epilogue?? Come on as if I didn’t love Tristan enough already. 

The Predator and The Reaper are definitely up there with my favourites and I’m so excited to see what happens in the other books. I can’t wait to finally get Amara and Dante’s story

I will never get over this book. I will now stare at a wall whilst I try to process everything that just happened.

Oh yeah and I’m really obsessed with Tristan Caine.

“You’re the girl I killed for and you’re the woman I’d die for”

Need I say more?? Oh but there’s more! 

“He wanted to tell her that love was too tame a word for everything that happened inside him where she was concerned. She had shifted him, realigned him from the inside out. Like a planet that suddenly pulls a moon into its orbit, she had bound him to her, given him direction for longer than she knew, gave him purpose to exist. She was his gravity, his fucking planet, and he was lost without her.“

Morana and Tristan are perfect. The twists and turns in this book were good and I was invested the whole time. The first book walked so this one could run. I can’t wait to read Dante’s story.

”you’re the girl I killed for and you’re the woman I’d die for.”


there are times when you aren’t prepared for a book. not prepared enough for an agonizing read that wrecks your soul in tatters and then stitches the fragments back together. not prepared to fall for morally questionable but attaching characters, questing for the forgiveness drown in their past and present mistakes. not enough prepared to be captured between the pages of a new world ruled by a gripping and masterminding plot, seeking for answers by eroding the blurred barrier between the past and present lies. I was taken aback by Morana and Tristan's story. the two books dedicated to their epic telling exceeded my expectations in terms of depth, scheming, and brain.

”His demons dance with mine,” she murmured softly, the truth of that statement seeping into her pores.”


I can be easily seduced by well-written books and bewitched under the spell of their writing. & it’s precisely what occurred with this book and the previous one. i was enchanted by RuNyx’s melodic and poignant plume from the very first words of 'The Predator'. it has such an eloquent voice that melancholically and ironically sang with the ruthless universe the author moulded in the vicinity of 'The Dark Verse Series'. every word had a herd of stumbling meanings behind it. every cryptic quote and phrasing mirrored one too many poetic significances.

” And he had. Even before she had asked him to make a choice, he already had. Even before he knew that she knew, he had wanted to protect her. Even before she had exposed herself to him the way she had, he had wanted her.”


Tristan and Morana. Morana and Tristan. both of them were wounded souls whose pasts and fates were strangely and cruelly entangled. every tiny, twisted, and dark parcel of one of them was in symbiosis with the second one. while the dynamic between them was not typical, it was a masterpiece of enemies to lovers’ arc. it started with them as morbid rivals; their animosity and hatred suffocatingly intense. their pursuit to harm or kill each other untempered.

”Some days, he felt like he would
explode with the emotions she pulled from his once-dead heart.”


but it eventually converged with them being an entity; their empathy and hurt for each other, their love and devotion, their acceptance and approval of one another. In every sense of the word, they perfectly completed each other. ❤️‍
