This book was psycho from start to finish. Killian was initially too much for me at the start, but I trudged on and found the rest of the book quite enjoyable.

I started this book a little apprehensive because the author had warned that the hero is a true psychopath and there are several triggers in the story. Since I have loved all her previous books, I dived in and found out: that I loved it!

I loved Killian even though initially I found him too much. As the story goes on, I disagree he’s a total psychopath, he has controls and he does care about his mother and he has principles. He does distinguish between right and wrong, he just dismisses the difference and goes for what he wants. What he was for me is refreshing, a total alpha male, dominant and relentlessly pushy. Once his sight settled on Glyndon, there was no saving her!

Glyndon had recently lost her best friend through suicide and she was floundering. Instead of confiding in her mother, she turned into herself and is spiraling. When she encounters Killian in their first scene, it was a terrible situation and Killian was so cold, so ruthless. He seemed as if he didn’t care if Glyndon harmed herself. But then his attention to her turned into obsession, and his obsession brought Glyndon to life again.

This is a book to enjoy as you read, it’s very convoluted, there are so many levels and interactions between all the characters. I actually had to read it twice to get it all straight in my head. As the reading goes, you get more and more fascinated by these characters. There is a lot of passion, a lot of violence, a lot of anger. I felt these are very rich young men, with a lot of power, a lot of money, and not much to do but to exert their power, not in the most positive way. They come from parents with similar inclinations, so this is more of the same.

I loved Killian’s obsession with Glyndon and that he was very dominant but he was also observant and he complied with her requests. Her friends and family, being so important to her, were therefore safe in his regard. I loved that while he taunted and hated almost everyone, he had some regard for his psycho cousin, love for his mother, hurt from his father’s treatment, and obsessive love for Glyndon. It’s certainly different but certainly fascinating. I can’t wait for the next one!
