Tf I’ve never wanted to DNF a book that fast &£!!££&?!???!£

3.5⭐️

One of the best bully romances I have ever read! Greyson kind of reminded me of Nate from Euphoria with how far he crossed a lot of lines with Violet and other characters.

If you like fucked up men in your books, look no further. Being inside of Greyson’s mind was beyond a trip. He was obsessed with Violet and wanting her to break but also belong to only him.

Violet was also no pushover. She pushed back and handled all the shit handed to her with dignity and power

Wow!

This book. Man this book had me hooked from the beginning & I was beyond happy that they worked things out between them.

Grey & Violet are swoon worthy goals. The obsession between them had me trying to get to the next point in the book faster.

Overall, a very well written book with characters that had depth & made you fall for them.
dark mysterious tense

So this was definitely one heck of a way to jump into bully dark romance

This book is not for the faint of heart, but if you’re drawn to dark, obsessive romances with complex characters and high-stakes tension, it’s an absolute must-read. Greyson Devereux is the ultimate antihero—charismatic, ruthless, and disturbingly compelling. His fixation on the heroine creates a dynamic that’s both toxic and addictive, blurring the lines between hate and desire.

The heroine’s resilience and inner strength make her a perfect match for Greyson’s unrelenting obsession. She refuses to let him break her, even as she’s drawn to the darkness he awakens within her. Their connection is raw and electric, with moments of vulnerability that add depth to their complicated relationship.

The university hockey setting and Greyson’s high-profile background add layers to the story, amplifying the stakes as their push-and-pull becomes increasingly dangerous. The writing captures the intensity of their interactions perfectly, pulling you into a world where resistance feels futile, and yet the heroine fights on.

If you enjoy dark, enemies-to-lovers romances with obsessive antiheroes, scorching chemistry, and emotional complexity, this book delivers. It’s brutal, unapologetic, and impossible to put down.

Wow okay
