This is a dark and twisted RH romance, that might have you questioning your sanity. This was an amazing addition to the series and I cannot wait to see what the third book will bring. I like that you get a closer look into why Stella is the way she is. I received an advanced copy and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.

Absolutely dark and crazy, but this Author has a talent for keeping you invested in their writing!!! So amazing! Learning so much about Stella and her men!

This story was better than the first book to me because of Killian and the things we find out in here. I loved Lincoln's growth in this book and learning a lot more about what was really happening. I couldn't wait after this book to jump right into the next one to see what comes next.

That escalated quickly
Stella, Stella, Stella. What happened to you?
Have you ever stared into a mirror and said, "Who the heck is this?" Like the person you thought you were isn't who you are? Stella is coming to some truth in this book. It's a gruesome truth. Her mask is slipping, but her relationship with Edward and Lincoln is growing in several directions.
And then there's the Angel Maker, the new serial killer in town. Oh, he's got his eyes on Stella and she's really excited by it...when will he reveal himself? Will his revelation ruin things with her two men?
I felt dirty reading this and yet I continued ploughing through it, because I'm sick in the head. That's the only answer I can come up with. It's made me look in the mirror, too, reevaluating my own chemistry. Perhaps we're closer to being monsters than we realise? I'm not a murderer and I don't sympathise with serial killers at all, but I am interested in why people make certain decisions and wonder if people are born with darkness inside them or if they learn it through experience. That whole nature versus nurture argument.
That's what this book is about to me. If we are filled with darkness, what stops us from being like the Angel Maker? Impulse control? Who knows? I'll never know. This book has really done a number on me and though I'm thinking about reading something sweet now and coming back to this series later...I'm not gonna. Come on, bring on more darkness Candace Wondrak. I'm ready to get dirtier.

not sure what to think about this one! More importantly Killian now in the mix, I know Stella was / is obsessed with the Angel Maker and I know she has some type of feelings for him, but as for Killian herself she has none, also he is to much of an Alpha male and I really liked the relationship she had with Linc and Ed. I really don't like to see Killian and Stella together so for them to become a team... I actually have no idea what book 3 will be...

Confused but need more
I can usually see what happens next in a book or movie but this one threw me for a loop. I can always guess the big moment or the twists and turns and the only one I guess was who the Angel Maker is. Everything else I didn’t see coming. I’m so confuzzled but that makes me happy. You actually have me guessing and on the edge of my seat! I can’t wait to read the next book. I need more!!!
