I am speechless...this had me hooked! It was just the right amount of spice, but it is a WILD ride. If you like dark romance, this one is REAL dark, so please check the trigger/content warnings. None of this bothered me; however, much of this book left me gasping for air as I needed to know what was going to happen next.

Beautifully written. Not for the feint of heart. Characters have very questionable morals. Dark romance dream.

This was... a Rollercoaster of a book wow. I thought I knew what it was about but I was lying to myself. I saw nothing coming. The lighthouse. Sylvester, the level of creepiness. I read this at night and I was creeped tf out 😂 was mad. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. 
Enzo was very hot cold in the beginning. I loved the friendships Simon and Troy it was so genuine I like friendships like that. 
Check your trigger warnings lol.
