I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. For me this book was just ok.
It's dark, taboo, chaotic and the characters are unhinged...all things I love about it. However, the overall story didn’t grip me for some reason.

I feel like I don’t enjoy this book as much as I would have liked
DNF 26% I know this book gonna be crazy but the tension is totally wasted because main couple are together from the start. I want their relationship buildup no matter how taboo that shit is, give it to me

This could have been a great book, but the writing was atrocious. The language is not how people generally speak or think. It's very repetitive. Some sentences just don't even make sense. There were also formatting issues, but I can look past that. Unhinged MMC and FMC, taboo, violence. All the makings of a book I would eat up. But this took me six days to read. It's under 300 pages. A book with all these tropes and trigger warnings shouldn't take so long. But I was beyond bored. It's rare I rate a book one star because I would have just DNFd it. But I needed to see what I was missing. This book had such good reviews and I waited a long time to be able to get a physical copy. So disappointed. Will not be reading more by this author.
This was good
Could have been better, but it is what it is.
I think people forget that books are different for everyone.
Horror erotica romance is a hard genre to find good books in, the plot line was good.

Lower rating because this wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. More "Purge" movies and less Harley Quinn romance, in my opinion.
Yes, this is a taboo relationship dark romance, but it didn't have as much actual relationship as I was hoping for. We don't see the two mains get together or their fight to be together, we're sort of dropped into a "they've been together 4+ years" story space that feels odd for a romance.
There is equal parts spice and torture, which is substantially more detailed on the gore than I was expecting. It ends up feeling like erotica of both kinds with only the smallest sliver of plot oriented around setting up the second book. Additionally, the couple is portrayed as being the 'King and Queen' of the asylum, but other than threatening the loudest and being popular, they have no power. Not even like "stuck in prison, have the trade network and dirt on everyone" power.
TLDR: While this is decent, I would have liked it better if we got more of an actual dark romance with a little less "Harley Quinn escapes Arkham Asylum the bloodiest way possible" wish fulfillment.
((Note for ebook: If you get the digital book from the author's site, which is one of the only ways to get it, the 'watermark' will be VERY distracting and there are no returns so be careful.))

Dark, Twisty, Twins, OH MY!
Kinsley has done it again! Her dark taboo is exactly that and she never misses. The twistedness, the trauma, the TWINS! I just love how we get to know each character and their trauma to really get into the story about why they are they way they are. I can’t wait to see what Kinsley come up with next

This book was unhinged as I was expecting 😂
This was everything and MORE. I absolutely loved Iris’ inner monologue. Her and Daddy Jasper were such fun characters to read. I love the unhinge-ness and the story line was absolutely incredible. I’m so excited for Dex’s story!!! I love this whole universe and I can’t wait for more!!
