This was pitch black romance at its finest. It has everything you’d look for in this type of book. 

The characters were very well written. The emotion and travma from Noir’s past shines though. It’s horrifying and mysterious at the same time. You wonder if she’s really losing her mind or if she’s actually sane as the story progresses. She is broken but strong AF and I loved watching her come into her own with the help of Hellion. She was the walking dead and he brings her to life and makes her FEEL. 

Hellion is perfect for Noir. He knows exactly what she needs and craves and loves to deliver. His darkness matches her. “We’re made for one another. She is my twin fvcking flame.” He delivers on the un hinged, possessive mother fvcker vibes and I loved all of it. 

The carnival setting was great and Dark Night? Perfection. 

We get a little bit of a twist in the story  with some mystery and intrigue that I really enjoyed. And we get a peek at the other Hollow boys. I feel like Hell is a lot to live up to but I have a feeling Wrath and Soul will deliver. 

This is a total pitch black romance. Please take the warnings at the beginning of the book seriously. These books are not for your average joe, but if you dare, just know there is no going back!
