"In my dreams and your fantasies, I think. It's okay, baby. You can be just as twisted as I am, and I won't judge you for it."
I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did!
I loved Violet from start to finish. I don't usually empathize with character's suffering, but I did for her. It's never easy to lose something that's already a part of yourself, and
Greyson, on the other hand... I had a love-hate relationship with him. There was a point where I didn't care if he redeems himself or he and Violet ends up together, because all I wanted was to see her succeed. Fuck the guy, right? But his redemption was good, enough for me to forgive his character. And I believe it didn't happen too fast—we actually get to see how it just gradually happened.
I want to praise the author for a good job. Violet and Grey was written perfectly. We see their flaws and internal struggles. And it was refreshing to read a dark romance without excessive spice scenes. Most of them I've read could be compiled into one single book already. It was just that much. This book though, no. It's the perfect balance for everything, which is why I loved it.

DNFing thanks to all the reviews warning me what an awful book this is and keeping me from wasting my time. 💛
Grayson could break me in half and I would thank him.
As Taylor Swift once said, “What a shame she’s fucked in the head” and it’s true, I am.
I cannot explain why I loved this book. In my brains own messed up cruel way I became obsessed with Greyson and Violet. They were both lost until they found each other and I loved every second. Yeah, yeah, yeah, “he hit her with his car” all I’m hearing is he needed to grovel (I’m kidding I don’t condone his actions… like really Greyson, I can’t believe you).
Okay but look at his turn around:
“You’re my favorite person on this planet, Violet Reece.” My confession meets her pulse point. “And we’re going to wake up next to each other for the rest of our fucking lives.”
At the end of the book he became boy obsessed and it was perfect. He went from getting everything he wanted to losing the girl he thought he’d never want time and time again. I loved how Violet was her own person, she never caved. Obviously Greyson is possessive, no shocker he didn’t give her much freedom, but still she took it.
So in all, I really liked them. This book was dark but ugh so good
As Greyson said,
“Let’s get something straight,” I say slowly, my gaze fixed on her lips. It’s a real struggle not to kiss her. “I am that terrible—and worse. Remember that, sweetheart, when you go to sleep and wish for dreams. Because you’ll just get nightmares. And me? I’m the worst fucking nightmare you could imagine.”
