If this book was your cup of tea, great. It wasn't mine. I would have liked Killian a lot better if he didn't rape her; but I just couldn't get past that. I did love the scene with him and his dad in the end, though. It showed a side to him I really liked.

Way too over hyped. From an ethical standpoint this book is very debatable.

I really enjoyed this book. I do have some mixed feelings about Killian, but for the most part I loved his character. I love how protective and possessive he is with Glyndon. I love that because he loves Glyndon he was willing to do things with her in mind. The chapters in his pov were fun to read. I've never read a character quite like his.

Glyndon is just a sweetheart. I love how much she cares about everyone. And I hated that Devlin used her compassion and empathy for others against her. I'm so happy he got what was coming for him in the end.

I will say I think my favorite character so far in this series just from this book alone was Brandon. I can't wait to get to his book. But I'm also excited for all the other characters books as well.

I absolutely recommend this. And I'm excited to get into Creighton and Annika's book next. I really loved their interactions in this book, so I feel like theirs is gonna be a really fun one.

So many characters to keep up with. I don’t know if I can get over the fact that Killian SA’s her over and over. I should probably give this a lower rating. Puked during the epilogue and the “my monster” parts. How is every man we meet the “most powerful”. What a buildup over the fake dead friend to be resolved in a few lines. I also love how Ava, Annika and Cece (I think that’s their names) just disappears after a few chapters. Also the my lord guy is super annoying nothing he says makes sense. I also think this book goes above just being “dark” and the writer uses shock value. I also think people who say “if you think this is dark you should read …” should reevaluate their position on these types of books and how being desensitised against SA contributes to gender based violence.

Got bored with repition of sociopathic behavior and FMC responses to it, not enough actual plot to moving the book forward.

⚠️Please take the trigger warnings seriously, no book is worth it. ⚠️

The author of the book did an excellent job in portraying the character of Killian as a psychopath, which was evident from the start of the book. The author's writing skills deserve appreciation for selling it so well.

However, there was a plot twist involving Devlin that left me furious.

After going through so much heartache over Devlin, Glyndon did not deserve to find out that he was not even dead.

The book had many characters, which made it a bit confusing to keep track of them all. Thankfully, the book came with a family chart, which helped me follow the plot.

Overall, the book had enough plot and character development, making it a bearable read. However, the book could have been shorter than its 400 pages.
