This book is wild. I loved every single word of this crazy, wild ride. It’s basically a college romance with an innocent FMC and a psycho, anti-hero MMC that you will definitely fall madly in love with.

Way too over hyped. From an ethical standpoint this book is very debatable.

My first Rina Kent read did not disappoint! Killian is 1000% a morally black character, so please read the content warnings! I loved this book and the characters. This may be a new comfort read for me, but I also know that I will be reading more of Rina Kent’s books. Onto book 2!

I really enjoyed this book. I do have some mixed feelings about Killian, but for the most part I loved his character. I love how protective and possessive he is with Glyndon. I love that because he loves Glyndon he was willing to do things with her in mind. The chapters in his pov were fun to read. I've never read a character quite like his.

Glyndon is just a sweetheart. I love how much she cares about everyone. And I hated that Devlin used her compassion and empathy for others against her. I'm so happy he got what was coming for him in the end.

I will say I think my favorite character so far in this series just from this book alone was Brandon. I can't wait to get to his book. But I'm also excited for all the other characters books as well. 

I absolutely recommend this. And I'm excited to get into Creighton and Annika's book next. I really loved their interactions in this book, so I feel like theirs is gonna be a really fun one.

This is a dark romance, with a twisted MMC. He’s portrayed as a psychopath and in the trigger warnings the author states that he is truly dark, leading me to believe he has no redeeming qualities. Yet, when he meets the FMC Glyndon he starts to feel something. 

By the end of the book, they’ve both said the L word. So, I disagree with the author statement. I don’t believe he’s a true psychopath. He is intriguing enough to make me finish the book, and I found him much more endearing than the FMC (I’m not sure what that says about my own mental state!). 

It’s an easy, relatively quick KU read. Entertaining, with some decent and dark spice, but I wouldn’t say the spice is majorly taboo. There’s a bit of non-con, some spanking, hand necklaces, but nothing that shocked me. 

The characters are likeable enough despite - or because of - their flaws, and I liked that he made up with his family at the end and that Glyndon came into her own because of Killian.
