Everything I knew about this book before starting? One single event from the first half. That’s it. And honestly? I’m so glad—because the rest of this book blew my mind in the best way! 🤯

H.D. Carlton has mastered the art of dark romance suspense. She doesn’t just write stories; she delivers wild twists, deeply layered characters, and a constant state of what the heck just happened. I’m obsessed.

Let’s talk characters: Sawyer, our FMC, is stunning, strong, and razor-sharp. She’s running from her past, but this story is as much about her escape as it is about her growth. And then there’s Enzo. Swoon. He’s not just her match—he’s her equal. He knows how to push her limits while loving her in a way that feels so deserved.

No spoilers here, but trust me: this book keeps you guessing at every turn. It’s an addictive, unpredictable ride that’ll leave your head spinning (and maybe your heart racing).

Bravo, H.D.! 👏
