This review will be short because I cannot give anything away...
The angst, the drama, the love/hate, the violence it all made my damn heart speed up.
I went into this book half blind, with only the cover as a guide. The story within did not disappoint.
The characters and the story they each share is consuming... This one is mind boggling, dark, and a complete thrill ride.
The story this author tells will have you at the edge of your seat from start to finish. The secrets, the lies, the reasons, the insanity... It's explosive.

Although I just read this book, I really can't remember the details, but I did like it.

This was a pretty decent read and kept me invested through the story, but not enough to continue on with the next books. I think this book wrapped it up well enough for me!
I’m a sucker for a toxic romance book, and this has it in spades. I do want to warn, that this has a lot of fade to black and closed door scenes. I only mention it because it shocked the heck out of me coming from Shantel.

Such a dark and twisted tale. I loved it. The dynamic between Austin and Cole was volcanic and even though my mind was screaming at me that everything that happened and that the way Cole treated Austin was absolutely unacceptable, but I couldn’t help but enjoy. The Great White Sharks were deadly and the fact that Austin survived was a miracle. The fact that Cole's sister died at the end was kind of a bummer, but and least they got married!
