jmcclure1002's review against another edition

I Dnfd at like chapter 9. I am a dark romancish kinda person, I have read some that are pretty questionable. This one i could not stand. No hate to whoever enjoys this book, but by chapter 9 I knew it was a no go for me... I am not gonna be lengthy because there are plenty of other reviews that say exactly how I feel but this book made me physically feel not okay and I was doing the audio book. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

1.0

dark medium-paced

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Premise and plot? Ludicrous.
Writing? Atrocious, juvenile, repetitive.
Characters? Don't get me started.

Non-con remains gross. Do people really find SA and threats of sexual violence cute? I don't understand.

Where to begin. Y'all. We all need some serious therapy... cause wth did I just read?! This was sooooo....dark? Twisted? Disturbing? The opening alone has me worried for all of us for not DNFing and rooting for them by the middle of the book. I obviously read the unedited/censored version with "the scene" and my jaw was on the floor!! Did I continue? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes, but not as much as God of Fury! That one is still my favorite. I'm excited for Mia and Landon's story though!! Even though I hate Landon! lol Anyway, Rina, girl! Are you alright? I'm sure we can get a group therapy discount!

beebookcandle's review against another edition

Possibly the worst thing I have ever read. The writing is horrific. I'm so embarrassed that I trusted the hype because it's utterly brain dead and romanticizes grooming and rape.

OMG MY FIRST REVIEW OF THE YEAR====2.5 stars. (this one will haunt me to the grave)

****PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR THIS BOOK

I'm incredibly flabbergasted that I finished this. (thank you bookclub I guess?) I feel the need to preface that Dark romance is not my thing which is why I'm being lenient about a lot of things with this book. I also knew what I was getting into so I have no one to blame but myself.

The main character Glyndon is depressed and suicidal after the death of her best friend. So she keeps visiting the place where it happened. Enter Killian, satan's spawn and incredibly fascinated by Glyndon. The two become entangled (excellent idea right?) after a night filled with the most dubious consent on earth (IM NOT JUDGING BUT LIKE CMONNNNN).

"He looks like he's ready to wreak havoc for you, and believe me when I say that type of love is rare to find"

THANK GOD. MAY THIS LOVE NEVER FIND ME.

"They don't even know I've chosen medicine just so I can continue my fixation with seeing inside a living being without killing"

I know this one was supposed to be scary but a lot of the things he said were just so idiotic that I could not take him seriously.

The characters, the plot, the world building felt a little off to me. The 2.5 stars are simply because of entertainment value. This is not a short book and yet instead of DNFing it, I finished it. The petnames were absolutely terrible. If Killian ever says "baby" again it will be too soon. Will I read more? Already picked up another from the series (the highest rated here, which fills me with anxiety for some reason). Am I a dark romance lover now? Absolutely not. I still feel queasy reading a lot of the scenes but I kind of really wanted to know what was going on and was so incredibly let down lol (but I still read it so RK you win)

By the end of the book there were so many plotholes that I figured since there are other books that it might continue with them? But it says stand alone so maybe not. Oh well.
