The reviews really had me nervous to read this book. I thought it was going to be brutal rape scenes one after another. It was definitely not… it was a “love” story with someone who has Antisocial Personality Disorder. Like first of all, I love the representation. I’m not sure how everyone and their brother in the book is on the APD spectrum BUT that’s beside the point. It was a good read. His “love” for her is kinda shallow, but that’s the point. That’s what makes him a bad choice. On the whole I enjoyed his character, he may be twisted but he is honorable. Also it was cute how all of the parents in the book had such a good foundational relationship with their spouse. Often with a torturered soul the parents are evil so this was a nice surprise. The writing could use some work. There were some parts of the dialogue that confused me. I was honestly so confused by Remi’s character.

Recommend to a friend: 4/10
Read again: 3/10
Spice:🌶️🌶️.5/5
Multiple scenes, but weren’t overly detailed or graphic.

Spoilers go into detail about the questionable sex scenes if you are nervous to read this book like I was.

Forced BJ, NonCon sex scene (she admits that she is turned on by him and that she fantasizes about being forced. If that makes you feel better about it??), everything else was pretty consensual but w/ force.

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

This is a thrilling dark college romance that represents dark themes that may be sensitive to others. A story with an addicting intense chemistry between two characters, with lots of tension, and vile actions that were acted upon throughout the book.

The main character Glyndon is a college student that is an artist who struggles with mental illness. She is closed-off and guarded with her feelings and doesn’t share the burden she feels, she is compassionate and supportive with her love ones as well as being self-sufficient and creative with her work. The love interest Killian is a obsessed, manipulative, smart and cold person. He represses the need to kill and hurt people with his own gain, to maintain control of his mind. He likes to torment people just for fun as well being cold, ruthless and remorseless.

This has an amazing friend group despite the other friends being literally psychopaths. Friends who has great humor and witty-ass comebacks as well as the great dynamic of how they all fit in the friendship. They also have a fun and safe atmosphere regardless of the intensity and cruel conditions they’ve been. The other characters that were introduced with possible romance storylines made me intrigue of their stories and characters more.

To conclude, I was very hooked and addicted to this whole book despite me being surprised of how intense it is, in the beginning. Lastly, it definitely has a great buildup of the intention of the characters and how well thought of on how everything took place.

** spoiler alert ** note to self: i technically have finished this book but i'm adding it to my reads this year as a reward for making it past 60%. this book only works if you read this from the point of view of someones who has never had a human encounter ever. its like an AI program was feed every cheesy bad boy book/tv show every made and then told to write a book with theses tropes, villain main H, non con and alpha male dumassery. every character is over the top and don't react in a way most people would to an event/problem/conversation. , the main h is dumb and never makes a smart decision and the plot is not believable or logical in anyway but if thats what you like to read then you'll love this book. anyways i'll see if i finish the book. never trusting booktok again :)
