Been hearing about Damon Torrance and Winter and how they're book is so good, that got me curious that I had to escape the first two books of the serie to read Kill switch and the result is it was okay.
Would I reread it? No
Would I reread it? No
Holy f*cking character development
“Pain in the body quiets the pain in the head. It feels good, like a kill switch for your brain.”
Damon went from the villain, the traitor, the evil and unhinged member of the Four Horsemen to the most realistic character of the series. He’s deeply flawed, traumatised and locked in his mind. And his mind? It’s off its axis. He’s unstable. He’s unhinged. He’s out for blood.
But you gotta love the whole redemption arc. Penelope did a wonderful job at humanising Damon and explaining how his mind works, how everything that he does is a result of everything he’s been through.
I loved seeing little glimpses into his relationship with Will, Banks, Winter and the rest of the group. Every single one of his relationships is different. And it’s surprising how well he goes about it. He’s a good player and a manipulator, capable of seeing the bigger picture and planning for the long haul. But he does care about his friends. Speaking of which, his developing friendship with Rika was fascinating. I loved every single scene they had together. They were so much alike. So when the plot twist hit, it made so much sense!
The scene between Damon and Will… the angst, the emotional pain, the tension, the comebacks, the spice… excuse me! I am more convinced now than ever that if Penelope ever decides to write an MM romance, she will end us all.
“You teach your daughter to hide in everyone else’s world, and I’ll teach mine everyone else exists in hers.” If this doesn’t speak volumes about the kind of father Damon would make… I don’t know what does. I liked finding that easter egg Pen planted.
The romance and spice, the back and forth, the perfect enemies to lovers… these are just a few of the reasons why I would never get over this book. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea. It’s dark and toxic, but if you’re into that, then you’ll love this book. Please read the trigger warnings before jumping in.

Irgendwie fand ich dieses Buch beunruhigend. Kapitel 9 war so abgefuckt und verstörend ich versteh nicht wie die Autorin überhaupt sowas schreiben konnte.
Und dafür, dass es so gehyped wurde und angeblich der beste Teil der ganzen Reihe ist bin ich kinda enttäuscht. Ich glaub ich muss ein paar Nächte darüber schlafen aber ich fühle mich gerade nicht bereichert von dem Buch. Auch das Damon in allen anderen Teilen und in 3/4 des Buchs der Teufel höchst persönlich war aber am Ende sich wie ein braves Schoßhündchen verhielt war kinda unpassend idk xd

"People come together, and for a tiny space of time...it’s beautiful and raw, because you can’t think and you don’t want to. You just feel... The moments are what we remember."
How come Damon was the best Devil Night man even though he was the most messed up?
Like Michael actually sucks.
Damon was the red of red flags. BUT! It's the little things that make him green as well. All I'm going to say is that he got the Art of Noticing down packed.
Still didn't enjoy the excessive spicy scenes and honestly the story plot is not the greatest.
And! The way I gasped when I found out Rika was his sister. Now he has two powerful sisters and both of his friends are dating them. Crazy! Damon going to take over the world hahah! As he should honestly.
