This book could have been so much better without the rape scene. They destroyed the hole story. Killian wasn't likeable enough to make up for that....

I read a review a long time ago. The reviewer pointed out that the more someone needs to say they are something the less they are what they claim to be. 

Killian going on and on about he is this and that was boring. I don't know if it’s great writing showing how he strokes his own ego or bad writing of “tell don't show”.

This was my first dark romance. I usually read fantasy and dark fantasy. 

I really liked this book. It had so much of what I was looking for like an unhinged, burn the world down, obsessed mmc. Killian is everything I look for in an mmc. I was here for it. 

Part of me missed the fantasy elements that I am used to. Although the books was fast paced, sexy, and mysterious I find myself drawn more to fantasy dark romance where something else is also driving the plot. 

The relationship was done very well, but the end of the book felt rushed for the relationship. However I understand this is a standalone and everything needs to be wrapped up in one book. 

Three things that knocked down my rating
the FMC keeps saying she wont give herself to the mmc completly and then just does near the end. Yes stuff happened to move this along but it did not feel like their was enough internal monologue to understand her change in behavior. The mystery and person not being dead felt so rushed and we don’t even get a scene of Lan and Killian taking revenge for Glyndon. It felt like the book needed like 50 more pages to wrap both the love story and the revenge plot up. Finally why the Devlin guy faked his own death was only briefly explained and did not really make sense. The reasons he gave could have been accomplished by him not faking his own death. Again just a few more pages could have helped.
Anyway, despite some criticisms, I really enjoyed it. And although I prefer fantasy dark romance I will continue with the next standalone. 

Overall: 4.25/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Spice: 4/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I’ve been wanting to read this series for over a year and now I finally got to it and I’m not disappointed this book was pretty good I loved how possessive and jealous Killian was over Glyndon and how he only had eyes for her I’m already loving how this series shows the couples from the next books in this one I loved every scene with Killian and Glyndon I didn’t get bored and the spicy scenes were very good I’m excited to see the other couples stories so this book is happy ending with no cliffhangers no love triangles or cheating it’s spicy and this book is Good Girl x Bad Boy, and Enemies to lovers overall I rated this book 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
