Beautiful Fiend by Lola King

3.0

Dark. Dark. Dark.
I mean, I love a good dark romance but this was even dark than dark - this was almost bleak. The angst was good and the spice was excellent. I usually don't have triggers when it is something that happens to the main characters but I am not a fan when the triggering event happens between the main characters. I just couldn't forgive Caden and it dampened my entire experience with this book.
The writing is great, the storyline is spicy and well done. And I know some may think his redemption arc was great - but I don't think his final "selfless" act at the end was good enough to make up for the trauma he created.
If you have no triggers - this is a great book.
