Omg this book! ❤️😭❤️
This book was sooo amazing I was sad to finish it. If you've read Willow's other stories in the Merciless series this book is how Carter became who he is today, but it's also about his best friend Sebastian and how he came to be along with the girl he's loved forever Chloe. Let me just say this much this story absolutely gutted me as Willow took me through their lives when they first met up till they were adults and the struggles they each have gone through and for him he knew he had to stay away because he didn't want to drag her into his world, but he couldn't stay away and her the girl who was always sad with no friends, no family and a list that was coming true and her want and desire for him. These 2 people will slowly creep into your heart and wring it dry as their story unfolds, but as one think's their losing their mind the other is keeping a secret. This is one book you won't want to miss. I highly recommend getting it.
This is my unbiased opinion and my review.

3.5 This book was pretty good! The writing style was great and I really liked Chloe and Sebastian. Chloe is so broken and innocent and Sebastian is so caring and protective towards her. There were many times he made me swoon.
I also loved meeting Carter and I feel like it provided a good foundation for his character.
Spoilers ahead!!
I knew that Sebastian was the one killing people on her list but I can’t believe Chloe never found out!! I also really want to know who Marcus is and why he wanted Sebastian to kill the people on the list!!
I went into this book knowing Willow recommend reading the two standalones before the Merciless series so I was very interested to see Carter. All I can say is that I feel horrible for him. He’s just a young boy and he’s getting abused by his father, his mother died of cancer, he has to take care of his brothers, he killed someone and literally vomited because of the terror he felt, has to take drugs to sleep and got beat nearly to death for selling drugs. Like my god, poor baby. He’s obviously going to be fucked up because of all of this and I feel terrible for him.

Honestly this book kept me hooked from beginning to end. The characters of Chloe and Sebastian were beautifully written. Dark and broody Sebastian, the boy with so many secrets was one the reader could not help but fall in love with and the heartbreaking Chloe who had the deck stacked against her with all of the baggage from her past. Tragically beautiful. Once again Willow Winters does not
