the way the author describes the male main characters as „the bad boy“ should be illegal, he is not just a little bit „bad“ he is a LITERAL serial killer💀

Mara has had a troubled life. She has survived her alcoholic/abusive mother and abusive stepfather. She is on her own in San Francisco trying to get by day to day. She has been through hell. She is very feisty and independent.
Cole is a sociopath and murderer who cares about nothing other than getting what he wants. He is devoid of empathy, ruthless, and powerful. He and Alister have being in competition with each other since art school. Alister was obsessed with getting Cole's attention and wants him to collaborate on a "project". Mara is the unsuspecting victim that Alister chooses.
Tropes: taboo/dark romance

Okay, so I actually really liked this!
Overall, I really enjoyed seeing Mara develop as a character and seeing her and Cole entwine their stories together.
