“Listen to me and listen to me well, Glyndon. I spent my whole life, repressing my true nature, but I’d willingly embrace my demons for you. I'd turn into the devil, a monster, and whatever weapon I have to be if it means I can protect you. You’ll never, ever question me about it, do you hear me?

If Killian told me to bark, I'd never stop. I feel so sick in the head for loving them. I really had to put down my morals for this man and you know, I'd do it again, he's such a comedian. 

Also, RK naming LeviAstrid's kids: Landon, Brandon, and Glyndon AND having strained relationships between them. JAIL! But we move.

This book was MUCH darker than I anticipated, but I loved it! Killian is the villain I never knew I needed 😍 There were SO many plot twists and elements of surprise that threw me through a loop, but it was such a good book. Tropes include: Touch her you 💀, possessive MMC, college romance, grumpy x sunshine (ish) and more! (Personally I don’t know much about tropes, but I hope this helps:))

It was to rapey for me. I remember skimming this book ages ago and everyone was talking about it so I thought I'd read it properly. 
It just made me really uncomfortable. It wasn't romantic at all it was scary.

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.
