Dark, bully romance that feels like a mixture of “The Ritual” and “Lights Out.” Although I wouldn’t want this IRL I like how Killian pushes Linden to admit what she wants.

I can’t do it. Thought maybe I was just tired but I gave it over two hours and I don’t have any sense of the characters, no idea where the plot was going, and I just don’t care. Why is this book so hyped??

I didn't finish it because the author had the MMC talking about wanting to rape the FMC before providing the reader with either the man's name or at least a proper physical description. All you were told was that he was somewhere over 6ft tall with dark eyes & was holding her on the edge of a cliff while basically saying he'd push her off if she didn't let him rape her.

So.... That was really intense. As a dark romance initiate, I kinda went against all my fluffy romance beliefs and morals with this read. There were many things, of course, that were simply unhinged to me and really made me question if this is the genre for me, but I pushed through. I wasn't the biggest fan of the writing, I feel like it was a bit repetitive and some of the word choice was just not my cup of tea, but I guess this being the first book in the series means that it will get better as I continue reading. Overall, it was an entertaining read, though I did have to constantly remind myself that this is fiction and of course none of this would be okay in the real world. That aside, I am planning to go ahead with the next book.
