This book is everything you'd expect from Rina Kent: dark, twisted, and emotionally intense. From the very beginning, the story dives into heavy themes and never really lets up—so trigger warnings are a must.

Killian is exactly the kind of morally gray, chaotic character I love to read about. He’s terrifying, magnetic, and entirely unpredictable. His backstory added some much-needed depth and gave a glimpse into the madness that drives him.

Glyndon herself is a bit of a mixed bag. She has an interesting emotional foundation—depression, insecurity, and an existential crisis—but those themes are barely scratched. It’s like all of that disappears once Killian enters the picture and gives her a reason to feel brave. I wish her development had gone a bit deeper.

There’s something deeply broken in both of them, and instead of fixing it, they just… fall in love. Somehow, it works.

The emotional tension was strong throughout, though the dramatic moments sometimes leaned into over-the-top territory. Personally, I prefer subtler, one-on-one scenes over full-blown emotional showdowns—but that’s just taste.

Despite a few overly dramatic moments, I flew through the story. It's dark, messy, and full of obsessive, morally questionable romance. And honestly? It delivers exactly what it promises.

Content warnings: Violence, dark themes, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, and other mature content. Definitely 18+ and not for every reader.

KILLIAN CARSON LAWD HAMMERCY ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

REVIEW: This story kicks off with a shocking... er, um... meet cute? (if we can even call it that) between Killian Carson (our unhinged MMC) and Glyndon King (our reluctant but fierce FMC). Killian is a man obsessed—Glyndon would prefer not to be the object of that obsession, but alas, here we are.

What unfolds is a dark, twisted, absolutely addictive romance that gives us everything we love—passion, chaos, and questionable decisions. The tension? Immaculate. The spice? Scorching. The ending? UNHINGED. I had to sit there blinking like a fool trying to process what just happened. 🤯🔥

If you love your romances on the dark side with an MMC who has no chill and an FMC who makes him work for it, this one’s for you! 👀💀

SPICE: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
VIBES: 🖤🔥😈💀

QUOTES:
"Who the fuck did this to you? ... They’re asking for war, but they’ll get fucking annihilation."

"Are you sure you won’t get bored of me, after all? ...Oh, baby. Not even after death.”

"You’re the one who keeps my demons at bay, the one who makes me look forward to new days. You’re the only red in my black-and-white world. You’re my fucking purpose..."

Addicting and dark. Hard to read the prologue about the MMC not being anything but a psycho but she makes you love him a little bit. Read TW.
