dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

4.5

Total rating: 4.5/ 5. 
Spice rating: 4/5
Violence rating: 3.5/ 5 

This is a good read if you're into dark/ forbidden romance. The MMC reminds me of Tate from AHS personality wise but a mute.. This is on the taboo side with adoptive siblings. 

I would look up the triggers before reading this book, this book isn't for the faint of hearts.

Quotes:
📕If a masked stranger presses a screwdriver to your throat and tells you to run, what do you do?

📕Go kiss your future husband, little sister. And when you do, you better think about me and all the ways I’ll fuck you in his blood.

📕He broke Parker’s legs with his bat and shoved the handle of the bat down one of the other’s throats, dislocating their jaw and making them vomit blood.

📕Ridiculous—I don’t want to kill her; I want to crush her. There’s a difference.

📕No one could ever make her feel the way I do. Ever. And if they do, I’ll kill them.
