I don't know how to feel. Killian is insane. I don't know why his family named him KILL-IAN and did not expect him to be a physcopath. I enjoyed hearing from the families. I loved Reina, Asher, Levi, and Astrids's POVs. I also liked the complicated family dynamic between Killian and his family. I enjoyed Glyndon as a character, some might say she is boring, but I like how calm and easy going she is. I also love Brandon, he is the only KIng out of the boys that does not need help. The heathens and the elites are a little extreme (why are we trying to k*ll people on college grounds). The other characters seem intresting. I am still conflicted about Killian as a whole and his relationship with Glyndon. He had some sweet moments though.

This has been on my list for so long, and I had heard so many good things about a book later in the series, that I was looking forward to finally getting into it.

I can now confirm, after many attempts, that the micro trope of a group of mafia-esque bad boys that rule the school is a hard no for me.

This one felt childish and so far fetched that it was a bit ridiculous to me.

1.5 ⭐️ because I did finish the book unfortunately. Just wanted to leave a few thoughts. 1. I have never seen the word neurotypical used as a repeated insult before which I found hilarious. 2. Why does this take place in the UK? Like it doesn’t make sense. I actually kept forgetting it’s supposed to take place in the UK and then would randomly remember when Glyndon would randomly say “blimey”. It just seemed pointless. 3. Glyndon is literally dumb af. Like she reminds me of that one girl from Love Island UK that asks if Essex is a country.

The writing was just straight up sloppy. Story was aight. Spice was spicing.

I love a good psycho and Rina Kent delivers. I devoured this book, while at work all I could think about was getting home to read more.

Killian is not the kind of man you want to love. And you certainly don’t want him to put you in his sights. But that’s exactly what happens to Glyndon. Their relationship was an intense give and take, with much less give on Kill’s part. He is unhinged and completely morally black. And I loved it.

There’s no unaliving, which I know some prefer their psychos to have that. But there’s a point to it, I think it was intentional on Kent’s behalf.

The spice is SPICY. If you don’t like DNC/CNC or anything rough, this is not the book for you. There are a host of triggers, please check the warnings.

Over all this was a great book, I absolutely recommend it to my dark lovers, there’s great banter, violence and a tiny smidge of emotion.

This started off slow for me but really picked up about a third of the way in and that’s when I really started picking up the pace and it became so hard to put down!

The story is interesting, both the subplot and the romance. The characters are intriguing. But the dialogue and internal monologues are definitely... Chunky. While the dialogue works in some places with the more analytical and darker characters, it sometimes comes off artificial and odd with the softer characters.
