The story follows FBI agent, Zamira Stone, as she tries to hunt down a serial killer and gets way more than she bargains for.
This is a dark RH with blood, knives, guns, and deviant spice.

What is this? Breaking Dawn, the movie? ššššššš DNF at 88%. Do you know how bad a book has to piss me off to quit after already reading 600 goddamn pages?
I canāt remember ever being this furious at a book. Talk about jumping the fucking shark. RIDICULOUS.
This was lauded as the next Den of Vipers and all I have to say to that is: wut.
This 127% did not have DoV vibes. Like, at all. There was very little character development and growth which made the sudden switch to this group being in love totally unrealistic and improbable. And it was, quite frankly, icky. I donāt want to yuck on anyoneās yum, but the kinks in this were super SUPER not my kinks. I didnāt find any of the sex scenes actually sexy or even interesting. I cringed through all of them.
And sheās grossed out using someone elseās make up but not being fucked with someone elseās blood or drinking it up like a milkshake? LOLOLOL okay.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.0
It feels harsh giving this book 2 stars, but personally this book was far too long and the longer it went on, the less I cared.
First flaw, Zamira. I never really cared for her as the female lead. I didnāt feel connected to her and I didnāt particularly like following her as the woman.
Second flaw, connection with the characters. Ace, Blais and Theon. On the surface, great characters. But apart from feeling a very small connection to Blais, I didnāt feel invested in their story or why they were the way they were.
I think thatās the main issue with this book for me. For an over 600 page book, it was rare I ever felt connected to the characters and as a result I didnāt mind all that much about the plot. Yes itās steamy/smutty and has twists and turns but I had to skim read by the end because it was just too long. Sadly, it had all the ingredients for me to love but personally it wasnāt for me.
