DNFed at 26% or page 116 (on KU). The scenes in the book are a bit choppy. For an example, the main characters are doing something then they are suddenly in a different setting or they are talking about something completely different. The writing is juvenile and the first book pretty much introduces everyone but the background of the main two characters? I am also a bit lost with what the point of the book is, and I’ve enjoyed books that are all vibes and no plot. I didn’t mind the dark aspect but wish the writing was a bit better.

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 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 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Mostly because Kent starts off with sexual assault with no trigger warning. Absolutely awful.
