Graphic content. Its a good smutty book with a dark twist and a long list of trigger warnings.

I received an arc of this book. 
Holy moly this story left me on the edge of my seat! So many twists and turns throughout the whole book. I love that Seraphine was a bit psychotic and that Leori still found the good in her. If you like a grocery list of trigger warnings, an unstable female main character and a morally gray male main character this book is for you! This book had everything suspense, gore, revenge and spice. It is definitely one of my new favorites 
Seraphine was kept prisoner for five years and forced to do the bidding of her captors. Leroi saves what he thinks is an innocent girl but comes to find out she is deadly. Can they survive each other?
