This was such a guilty pleasure kind of fun read, I enjoyed the book a lot more than I thought I would. The themes are dark, the characters are all at least a little twisted and it invites some valuable discussions regarding kink and consent. It's definitely the kind of book you need to read the trigger warnings for and appreciate in the context of dark romance as it toes the line between romanticisation of abuse and exploration of kink. I do think this was a lot better handled than in other more popular dark romance books such as Haunting Adeline.

I loved all the characters, they were fun and had their distinct personalities, which is a great feat considering the number of side characters and the fact that not all of them get a lot of scenes. I'm interested to see the other stories from the series so I can get more of them. Glyndon and Killian's relationship was peak "attracted to toxic men" that can only exist when you're young and don't know how to protect your heart from that. 

The plot was interesting enough to keep me hooked till the end, and it was well-paced with the romance. There were some grammatical errors, but nothing too glaring.
