So I didn’t realize it going into this, but this is obviously a spin off of some of the author’s previous works. Like, the second generation of characters from another series. Or two. Because of that, there were a few instances where I got the impression that we (the reader) were already supposed to know something. . .and I didn’t. Not that that’s any fault of the book, but I didn’t like not being “in the know”. Dark as it was, I liked the concept of Killian’s character and I thought his chapters were interesting. The only thing is, I felt like the pacing of the story was really fast. I wish there had been more time in the transition between hate/fear to love/trust. I also thought the mystery/conflict resolution was rushed. May or may not continue the series, or go back and read the ones that came before.

** spoiler alert ** note to self: i technically have finished this book but i'm adding it to my reads this year as a reward for making it past 60%. this book only works if you read this from the point of view of someones who has never had a human encounter ever. its like an AI program was feed every cheesy bad boy book/tv show every made and then told to write a book with theses tropes, villain main H, non con and alpha male dumassery. every character is over the top and don't react in a way most people would to an event/problem/conversation. , the main h is dumb and never makes a smart decision and the plot is not believable or logical in anyway but if thats what you like to read then you'll love this book. anyways i'll see if i finish the book. never trusting booktok again :)

the author were not kidding when they said that this book was going to be dark because it dives straight into that nitty gritty part of it the moment you flip through the first page. maybe it's all the dark romance i read back in the day, but i actually enjoyed this one. i also do not think that this is the darkest book i have ever read, to be honest.

what i liked about this book is that it did not make any silly excuse for killian's behaviors. he is a psychopath through and through and there was no changing that unhinged side of him. he does have a "normal" side of course but ultimately that other part of him is still there. he is capable of caring for people, just on his own way.

also i loved glyndon. she was the one who made me stay until the end. what i enjoyed about her was the simple fact that she could hold her own against killian. if she was a weak heroine, i would have dnf'ed this book, to be honest. but no, she was strong and kept killian on his toes, which killian deserved lol. no one should make it so easy for that mf.
