What a book! Finished within 24hrs I could not put it down because I just needed to know more! Also the ending I did not see coming!

This is one of those books you are either going to love or hate, and I'm telling you I am obsessed. WTF did I just read and why was it so damn enjoyable? This is ... I can't even call it a romantic suspense... or maybe I can... is it romance?... it's a page turner and the ending is insane. Is it a HEA? I think that's going to be based on what you feel is happy and what type of romantic ending you were looking for. I'd say go in blind, but there are some majorly dark scenes, so check your trigger warnings.
I'm not even sure what to say trope wise or who to recommend this book to. If you like dark fucked up shit? If you like a page turner and a what the fuck ending?

Wow... Not sure how to describe what I just read. I saw several posts about how good this book is. I went in blind and this is not what I expected. Not sure how I feel about it.
