Basically a sexy Hannibal fanfic, but I'm not mad about this.
Every single description in this book was turned up to 11 (out of a possible 5), so while the writing is significantly better than many other romance and/or thriller books, it was overwhelming. Could have used some serious editing down.
Also the plot is really flimsy and convoluted, you have to turn off any logic and just enjoy sexy people spewing psychobable 😌

I hope that this series keeps going well--I'm going to pick up the second book immediately after I'm done writing this review. And I never know how to go about talking about my love for dark romance books like these (Marrow, The Mindf*ck Series, etc.) without sounding unhinged. I think I just love that so many of the main characters, like the main character Halen in this one, are women whose life was disrupted by tragedy, and now they have a darkness in them. And the books aren't about punishing that darkness or trying to bring them back to the light, but the books are more about embracing the new trajectory their life is going in. Obviously these books are extreme and feature murder and killing but I love the overall...vibe, I guess. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I just know that my favorite relationships in my life are those that celebrate who I am, as I am, and not who I could be if I were a better/more positive survivor. I've been let down by a lot of people because I do have depressive episodes and I exhibit traits of, well, a victim. Some people really don't like hearing about me being sad or traumatized, and they care more about me being a "survivor". Anyway. Siri, play "That's the Way It Is" by Celine Dion!
