Älskar Damon. Tycker så synd om honom också. Winter e så stark och deras story är så jävla bra. Först i fontänen, trädkojan och att hon blev blind, hennes ”ghost” som va han asså allt va så bra. Jag hade typ ont i hjärtat genom hela boken för de va så känslosamt med deras historia och Damons barndom. 
Sjuk plot twist att Rika, Damon och Banks va syskon ba sådär (va ju dock lite teaseat innan i boken)?? 
Måste säga att Will nog fortfarande är min favoritkaraktär dock. Och asså STACKARN när han fkn nästan drunkna igen??? Brorsan har nog grov ptsd vid detta laget.

Kill Switch is an emotional roller coaster of a dark romance. It’s rich people on some rich people drama, with some serious trauma at play. The MMC, Damon Torrence is awful and horrible but also understandable and could just use a freaking hug (and some therapy). The FMC, Winter is so one of my favorites in this series so far who has her own battles with herself, her family, blindness and others thinking she is weak due to her blindness, when she is in fact one of the strongest FMCs to grace the Devil’s Night series. The character development within Kill Switch was so unlike the previous books in the series, and Penelope Douglas used some serious word magic to be making my heart love these fictional people, because I sure as hell did not prior to the book.

It’s controversial with all the topics it brings up but very Intense and intriguing. The jumps in time make it confusing at first but it’s great to see with time all the sides of the story. Very interesting to read a pov of a blind character. I wasn’t sure how it would end or make sense but it was good
