I liked this one more than the first one in the duet. These two books were absolutely insane, but a fun ride.

love love love mara and cole! this was such a great ending to their story. although i do wish this duet was a series, their journey through love and regret and guilt and revenge was so beautifully written. and as for shaw,
i’m so glad mara was the one to kill him,
he got what he deserved.

2.5⭐️s: Cole Blackwell is booktok boyfriend material: tall, dark hair, broody, and willing to kill for his girl, also he’s a knockout in bed. I enjoyed seeing Cole & Mara grow together and realize what they mean to each other but the whole point of this book I thought was revenge on Shaw. Only the last like 30 pages truly involved that. It just seemed drawn out to me.

Honestly this was great! Like the best dark romance duet I’ve ever read. I will say that I liked it just as much as the first book but the first book had a superior playlist that was better incorporated into the book and it just made the experience better. I liked this playlist too and even found that some of the songs I already listen to but still not as good as the first one.

This book was a great addition to the first book. It was darker and had a bit more spice. It is very dark and goes into quite some detail but the romance does kick up and the main character self development is very fun to read.

Not only do I give both of these 5 ⭐️, but I can confidently say this is my FAVORITE duet/series to date! This author figured out the perfect balance of steam and plot, and had some downright funny scenes too.
 
Our MMC, a psychopath and sculptor, is involved in an ongoing rivalry with a fellow artist and serial killer, who “gifts him the FMC. What is mostly characterized as a dark romance of stalking and obsession, somehow manages a slow burn love simultaneously. It features a game of wits and survival, and also overcoming childhood trauma. The first book in the set has a faster paced plot, while the second covered more timeline overall. The accompanying music playlist suggestions were on point with this one,  I truly felt immersed in this story.
