This was the stupidest piece of steaming radioactive trash I've ever had the misfortune to stumble across.  It reads like a failed Wattpad project.  Ive never felt so unsafe in my life just lying on my bed reading a book.  I would rather be visited by the 3 ghosts of Chrismas than have to read another sentence.  Vile.  Grossly offensive.  Insensitive.  And also badly edited. 0/10 stars.

This book is everything you'd expect from Rina Kent: dark, twisted, and emotionally intense. From the very beginning, the story dives into heavy themes and never really lets up—so trigger warnings are a must.

Killian is exactly the kind of morally gray, chaotic character I love to read about. He’s terrifying, magnetic, and entirely unpredictable. His backstory added some much-needed depth and gave a glimpse into the madness that drives him.

Glyndon herself is a bit of a mixed bag. She has an interesting emotional foundation—depression, insecurity, and an existential crisis—but those themes are barely scratched. It’s like all of that disappears once Killian enters the picture and gives her a reason to feel brave. I wish her development had gone a bit deeper.

There’s something deeply broken in both of them, and instead of fixing it, they just… fall in love. Somehow, it works.

The emotional tension was strong throughout, though the dramatic moments sometimes leaned into over-the-top territory. Personally, I prefer subtler, one-on-one scenes over full-blown emotional showdowns—but that’s just taste.

Despite a few overly dramatic moments, I flew through the story. It's dark, messy, and full of obsessive, morally questionable romance. And honestly? It delivers exactly what it promises.

Content warnings: Violence, dark themes, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, and other mature content. Definitely 18+ and not for every reader.

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.

It was to rapey for me. I remember skimming this book ages ago and everyone was talking about it so I thought I'd read it properly. 
It just made me really uncomfortable. It wasn't romantic at all it was scary.

Got bored with repition of sociopathic behavior and FMC responses to it, not enough actual plot to moving the book forward.

** 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 :)
