Horrifying content-wise (TWs for

Spoiler

hero raping the heroine multiple times including noncon somnophilia after he drugs her, torture, attempted murder of the heroine that the hero is involved with, and I'm sure a bunch of other abusive behavior I'm forgetting

), Dare is a full psychopathic villain, and Aubrey cannot get away. This is truly the darkest thing I've read, and I felt icky about it the whole time. But I can't deny Sam Mariano is a talented author... So 2 stars. Not For Me and Do Not Recommend.
