All the triggers! Lol don’t read this if you have any of those triggers plz. But this story is extremely good if you can get past all of it.

WOW. I wanted dark and I got pitch black, middle of the forest on the longest day of the year with a blind fold on dark. I absolutely loved this, it’s dark, erotic, passionate, and poetic…there’s complicated emotions, turmoil, grief, desire and the most vile actions I have ever read. I can’t wait to crack open the next book, I feel like a fiend looking for their next score. I knew West was a snake, he rubbed me the wrong way from the start. Everleigh is so strong and resourceful. Bram oh Bram where do I even start with him, I knew it, that’s all I’ll say is that I knew it. Check your trigger warnings at the cover because this book will check every single one of them.

“the bait that treads the water is usually the hook that kills the prey.”

A truer quote was never attributed to a book, I swear. This falls somewhere between static white and oblivion level dark, reader discretion advised. I put off reading this for too long, and loved it. Dark books with actual plots make my soul sing. But I’m definitely going to need to bleach my brain with a romcom before hitting book 2. Fuck me. I am not ok. Send help.

Got to the plot twist, decided I wasn’t invested enough to continue after a week
