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 :)

the author were not kidding when they said that this book was going to be dark because it dives straight into that nitty gritty part of it the moment you flip through the first page. maybe it's all the dark romance i read back in the day, but i actually enjoyed this one. i also do not think that this is the darkest book i have ever read, to be honest.

what i liked about this book is that it did not make any silly excuse for killian's behaviors. he is a psychopath through and through and there was no changing that unhinged side of him. he does have a "normal" side of course but ultimately that other part of him is still there. he is capable of caring for people, just on his own way.

also i loved glyndon. she was the one who made me stay until the end. what i enjoyed about her was the simple fact that she could hold her own against killian. if she was a weak heroine, i would have dnf'ed this book, to be honest. but no, she was strong and kept killian on his toes, which killian deserved lol. no one should make it so easy for that mf.
