Didn’t get all the hype of this book at first but once I got about 55% through the book I enjoyed Winter and Damon’s love story. The flashbacks build the story beautifully and lead up to show why they are like they are now. Really enjoyed how sucked into the story I was by the end!
“I’d bent and twisted and broken everything that made her the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.”
⭐️ 4.5/5
Damon’s story finally delivered: dark, twisted, emotional, and full of redemption. Winter and Damon’s broken love set against constant danger made this one of the best in the series.
I’ve been waiting for Damon’s POV, and it did not disappoint. His story dives deep into the scars left by his brutal upbringing and the mental battles he carries with him, and his connection to Winter was far more layered than I expected. The setup—her role in his imprisonment, her blindness tied to their shared past—makes for a tense, complicated dynamic that kept me hooked from the start.
What worked so well was the emotional push-pull between them. Damon is both terrifying and vulnerable, and Winter matches him with her quiet resilience. Their history is full of lies, half-truths, and repressed memories, and peeling those back made for a gripping ride. Some of the most powerful scenes were the rawest ones—Damon’s pain with his mother, Winter’s reluctance to face her part in their past, and the gut-punch reveal about her blindness. Rika’s presence throughout grounded the larger story, reminding us that this isn’t just Damon’s redemption—it’s also about how their tight-knit circle reshapes itself when the past refuses to stay buried.
By the end, I was both wrung out and satisfied. The twists in the closing chapters reshaped the group’s dynamics in ways that will ripple into future books, and it left me eager for Will’s story. Damon and Winter’s romance was as broken as it was beautiful, and it cemented this book as a standout in the series for me.

This book is the best in the series so far.
I was so unsure about it, and was not as interested in it at first. I rewound and listened to chapter 9 twice, (iykyk). Then I was like “something is happening in Damon I need to know about.”
I recommend this because he’s such a complex character.
