I thought I had an idea about what I was getting into. Boy was I WRONG. Will and Cas? Yea, they’re about as toxic as two lovers can be.

This book is dark and twisted and unlike anything I’ve ever read. You would think that a murderer would be the troubling character. But you’d be wrong. Will is such a deeply complex character of manipulation, dominance, and obtuseness. It’s a strange and endearing mix that leaves you feeling off kilter. And Cas, yea, he’s just a needy little bottom who loves being loved. He also love killing.

WILD. Y’all. This book is unreal. It’s a square cluster—you know what—of epic proportions. There’s twists and lies and an entire smorgasbord of feeeeels. It’s suspenseful until the very end and while I feel like we get an HEA, it’s more of a HFN and then some.

Seriously, this one is unforgettable. It’s one of those books you wish you could read again for the first time.
