Damn this was dark. Take the triggers seriously.

A case of insta-love. Don’t go into this thinking it’s going to have ANY sunshine and rainbows. This is a dark, Romeo & Juliet-ish, love story with HELLA GOOD spice. I wanted to cry and be frustrated too— FOR A SERIAL KILLER? hmmm. Crazy.

This book is dark and depraved and I couldn’t put it down. Our couple was written in a way that was like watching a car crash in the form of a book … in a way that I absolutely loved. It’s dark here, check your triggers and then check them again. If you like the black side of dark romance, give this a go.

"Not all romance is pretty , and not all romance is love."

What did I just read. The most conflicted feeling I've ever felt while reading a "love" story. They deserve each other and the fact that I find parts of the story endearing really has me questioning my sanity. I am gonna need a "comfort read" after this.

**read the triggers**

Ive read a number of dark romance books but I felt that some parts of the book were just too descriptive for my liking and made me very uncomfortable. There were moments where I had to skip chapter because I just couldn’t stomach the descriptions. Some of the sexual scenes were just straight up weird, but who am I to kink shame.

It definitely got better towards because I felt more connected to the characters and felt very sympathetic when they died
