I now understand the insane amount of trigger warnings...

And that plot twist! Damn David.

If I could give this book six stars, I would. I DEMOLISHED this book so fast and will probably re-read it multiple times while I wait for the next book in the series to be released. I only gagged twice, but this book definitely isn't for the squeamish. This book had me questioning how f*cked in the head I genuinely am the entire time. Thanks, Brynn, for permanently ruining Orzo pasta and cookies and cream ice cream for me. It often feels like the romance genre is full of the same plots and archetypes repeated over and over again, but this story breaks that mold for sure. And congratulations to Rowan for joining the list of characters that set unattainable standards (even if he is a serial killer) for me.

I absolutely loved the audiobook, the narrator’s did such a good job at bringing the story to life. They had so much chemistry it was unreal. 

The story is written well with good pacing and world building. This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I can honestly say I loved her writing. I am looking forward to her next adventures cause I for one cant wait for the next book.
