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 🔥

this book was dark dark but Lyla's story also felt healing at some points, I wish the last book of the series was already out like it was planned, I just want every story line to come together now

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

I have no words. I almost can’t believe its over (for now)😭. This series consumed so much of me and became so important to me it was almost like it would never end 🥹. It’s honestly in my top 3 favorite series’s ever!! This book was beautiful. It’s a story of healing, strength, taking back your power, discovering yourself, the power of love and the light lighting up the dark. Runyx is my favorite dark romance author because she writes it in just the perfect way. The love is still so heartfelt and soul-deep with every single couple without loosing the fun of possessive men who’d burn the world down for you. With the shadow man and lyla their love is almost transformative. They fit together perfectly all their dark parts fitting together perfectly and creating beautiful light that illuminates them both up inside. Watching his constant protection of her and him always knowing what she needs and helping her heal was beautiful. Lyla is so strong, resilient, courageous and also emotional while the shadow man is obsessive, smart, thoughtful (only for her though) and also emotionless. They are the yin to the others yang. Two extremes made whole together. Their love story isn’t pure or for the faint hearted but it is beautiful and passionate. I loved this book so much. I loved their relationship. I loved Lylas character development and watching her find herself and take back her power. I love the shadow man’s character. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do now that I’ve read the series entirely, probably patiently but eagerly wait for the syndicater to release. I can’t wait. This entire series has a very special place in my heart now and I am so damn excited until we can all go back there and also for everything else RuNyx writes!!
