Whew. Check Trigger Warnings. So...I don't even know what to say. At 50% and about 75% I genuinely didn't know what else could happen. Woe is me. And the characters because we all got clotheslined. I managed to get through the really intense beginning all the way to the end. I'm glad I did and at the same time I'll be content to never re-read these books. Not saying that as a bad thing, just a "I've experienced it and can check it off the list" way. Ultimately, I enjoyed the overall storyline.

Okay um WOW! This duo was amazing, I loved them both equally. Definitely read the trigger warnings. There is never a dull moment in these books, there’s always action or romance or both at the same time. It’s raw and real and I think the intensity makes it feel so realistic for a fiction novel. It covers such intense and scary topics that although are frightening, they make you feel aware and very raw feelings, like you can’t ignore it. All in all, I will be reading more from this author. Im hooked.
