The devil and his dark muse.
Nobody does it like Trisha Wolfe. In Hollows Row, small town with a constant cloudy skies, Halen battles with her own mind while trying to solve the brutal ritualistic crimes. Kallum and Halen are even more melded in the second book. Halen is convinced he committed these crimes and is in denial over her own memories and feelings. The musings of philosophy and brutal crimes are so interesting to follow, even though i missed a few things regarding all Kallum’s ramblings. I love them!! So much!! They are so sexy and dark, and I'm glad I got to see Halen giving in to their connection. This twist was really good. And Chapter 16 & 17 changed my life. Kallum is one of my favorite book bfs and I was giggling every time he spoke or his POV came up. I read both print and audiobook and Joe Arden was so hot as Kallum!! I will read anything Trisha writes and before I was done with this one, I ordered Lovely Wicked Things. Kallum and Halen, twisted soulmates forever.

“I just want you to be you. You don’t have to act in any way to please me, because when you’re being yourself, you already do.”
“You’re light, but you crave the dark. You crave me.”
His enchantment had worked its way inside me, lulling me
“He spoke for you, but your voice was the only one I needed to hear. The sun doesn’t reduce its heat to assuage the frigid moon.”
Even though I was freed some part of me was still bound to him
It was everything I wanted it to be. It almost felt like Celia Aaron wrote this book specially for me. It’s definitely dark but to me, an avid romance reader (dark and light) I found it funny and heartfelt. The writing felt faced paced and it takes no time getting to it. We meet Camille, a science teacher (get ready for the plant facts) at a fancy work function with her current boyfriend Link
He is infatuated with her instantly and she while slower on the take, is very interested in him. Maybe insta-lovey? If it is, I love that sort of thing. If you like a dark mmc that is also somehow obsessively adorable and would do anything to get his girl to smile, that’s Sebastian. He’s definitely complicated and flawed, but his perspective and transformation was a treat to experience. His psychopathology and understanding of emotions was super interesting to me. No matter his strangeness, there was this way about him that was refreshing in his efforts and understandings. Both characters felt like real beautiful people who I am so happy got their happy ending. I just love this book so much. Despite some dark themes and some smutty scenes… I found this book adorable and I was kicking my feet so many times with the giggles. Sebastian has won a top spot in the ranks of my book boyfriends. He’s crazy but a cinnamon roll for his damsel. Groveling was beautiful as well he just paid attention to her so well I ate it up!!!

“Times have changed, Sloane. I’m not scared anymore. You’re not my fucking friend. You’re just mine.”
“Don’t you get it, Jas? I’ve seen all the darkest parts of you and I’m still here. I still want more. Stop trying to scare me away. It isn’t going to work.”
“The answer is no. None of that shit matters. Because we’re me and you. We’re us. Unlikely and inevitable all at once. We’re forever.”
“See, Sloane? You can wear someone else’s ring, but we both know you’ve always been mine.”
“Sunny, you’re gonna make me lose my mind.” “Good,” I murmur against his mouth. “We’ll be insane together. I’m so tired of doing it alone.”
“Nah, Sunny. You’re my only girl.”
Jasper: You’re not people.
Sloane: Lmao. What am I then?
Jasper: My person.
“The real question is, do any of those other people matter when I only ever see you? When I only ever think about you? When I’ve done nothing but become more and more obsessed with you since I was told to stay away from you?
Do they, Sloane? Do they matter? Does any of that seem like it matters on the face of what you and I have happening right now? In the face of eighteen years of friendship? In the face of wanting each other for so long? Is a single other person even a factor? Even a blip on the radar?”
