So many characters to keep up with. I don’t know if I can get over the fact that Killian SA’s her over and over. I should probably give this a lower rating. Puked during the epilogue and the “my monster” parts. How is every man we meet the “most powerful”. What a buildup over the fake dead friend to be resolved in a few lines. I also love how Ava, Annika and Cece (I think that’s their names) just disappears after a few chapters. Also the my lord guy is super annoying nothing he says makes sense. I also think this book goes above just being “dark” and the writer uses shock value.  I also think people who say “if you think this is dark you should read …” should reevaluate their position on these types of books and how being desensitised against SA contributes to gender based violence.

⚠️Please take the trigger warnings seriously, no book is worth it. ⚠️

The author of the book did an excellent job in portraying the character of Killian as a psychopath, which was evident from the start of the book. The author's writing skills deserve appreciation for selling it so well. 

However, there was a plot twist involving Devlin that left me furious.

After going through so much heartache over Devlin, Glyndon did not deserve to find out that he was not even dead.

The book had many characters, which made it a bit confusing to keep track of them all. Thankfully, the book came with a family chart, which helped me follow the plot. 

Overall, the book had enough plot and character development, making it a bearable read. However, the book could have been shorter than its 400 pages.

He assaulted her in the first two chapters. And proceeded to threaten he’d take her in unimaginable ways, and I’m supposed to find that hot…🫥

Killian is my sleep paralysis demon. I’m traumatized.

I can see why people like this book but again, I don't remember being this young and having SUCH a complicated life. There was absolute dub-con but it manageable and it is certainly a warning. I'm just glad this is over and I do not think I will read the other books. I mean, I might read the next book but I'm giving myself a few books in between before I pick it up.

It’s okay for dark romance but as far as stabby stabby goes there wasn’t enough gore in my personal opinion 😅. Anywho the plot was good. Too many characters to keep up with.
