This was so amazing! I love them so much I can’t contain it. This book was wild in the first chapter but I still loved it all the way through. The spice was amazing!!

There is a lot to unpack here.

This book contains so many triggers, so before reading PLEASE consider them all. I understand why some readers find it extremely difficult and even DNFed it.

The reason why I personally find the book a "4 ⭐" interesting is the physiological approach and understanding of both FMC and MMC. Although most readers will describe the book as a dark romance or even a smut book, I find it more almost like a textbook for a lot of neurodivergent personalities, and mental issues. From the sociological and anthropological side, I'm impressed with the way the author described social media and the false perception it offers to society (and mostly to teens and young adults).

I will continue reading the series as I'm wondering if the author will continue with the same approach (discussing mental health as one of the most important issues of modern society).

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.
