Don’t skip the TWs on this one, wow it’s sad and difficult. But I loved Lyla as a main character, so strong even through the worst life. The Shadow Man is a lot, but the way he feels about her is pretty cute and obviously OTT. 

DARK Romance, Stalking, Emotional, 4 🔥

5.0

This is by far my favorite book so far in the series. Certainly morally gray, definitively slightly toxic, but I’m obsessed with everything about this book… maybe that’s a red flag for me.

I think that the MMC is questionable at times, the FMC is just golden, and it feels similar to the way book 1 left off. You just kind of want more of this relationship, and I’m slightly disappointed the next book is all POVs instead of just these two. However, I am soo beyond ready and excited for its release

Trigger warnings GALORE. I don’t need trigger warnings myself but this one basically has them all. I think I liked the idea of the main characters more than I actually like them if that makes sense. There was so much potential here and it just felt wasted on sex scenes that were incredibly visual and graphic and happening way to quick in my opinion. SPOILERS AHEAD 

It felt completely unrealistic that someone who had been a sex slave that was abused and raped since she was a child was so quick to let an assassin possessive alpha male dominate her. Perhaps if it was written better or somewhat more sensitively it wouldn’t have left a strange taste in my mouth. I like that he watches out for her and had her best interests in mind, and I loved that she felt safe with him, but something about the way certain scenes were written just gave me the ick. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it, and made it to the end at least. But at this point I’m just finishing the books so I can figure out who the head hauncho bad guy is.
