How can I tell you to read this without being pushy? READ THIS If your new to dark romances or Y-Choose this is the book for you!
The audiobook was phenomenal, it was a true production and I would love Katrina to narrate book two (Devil in the Dark, Releasing March 1st)
Check all trigger warnings before reading, seeing as this is a dark romance it features dark/mature content. All of which can be found there

⚠️<b>Update at the end!!</b>⚠️
Uhm.....Perfection?! I don't have enough words to describe how much I love this book!!
The characters are everything I've come to love from dark romance but so much more fleshed out than usual and so much more real!! All of them are absolutely precious to me and I want to burrow into the book and hug them and kiss them and cuddle them and just love them.
The representation in this book is so beautifully interwoven with the story, I am in awe. The rep is loud yet subtle making it so effortless to accept it being there without it being the main focus of the plot. I was masterfully done.
I loved how much diversity there is in these characters and how different people and dynamics are portrayed in this book. I was just *chef's kiss*
that she has the strength to pick up the pieces and try to find herself again is absolutely awe inspiring . Ember and Cy are my emotional support mercenaries and I will not be accepting anything negative about either of them. Kieran is a precious bean that I love with everything I am and if that waste of space Arrick touches one hair on his precious little head I'll reign hellfire upon him.
.
In my opinion the ending can be summarised as this spoiler gif:
and I'm absolutely THRILLED about it. I can't wait for the next one!!!
The only reason it took me this long to finish it is because I wanted to have the least amount of time possible between finishing it and reading the sequel. I basically forced myself to stop reading, it's that good.
Also a sneak peak into a scene I am obsessed with:
“I am going to come and sit behind you.” I move slowly, giving her time to stop everything if she needs it. When I settle behind her, I start. “I’m going to wrap my arms around you, and you’re going to wear my hand like your personal necklace.”
I am ✨unwell✨. Where's MY personal necklace?
A massive thank you to the author, Shannon Elliot for providing me with an ARC in return for an honest review!❤
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Audiobook is absolutely out of this world. I am <b><i>OBSESSED </i></b>. I knew it'd be good because of the source material and because of the teaser but I was not prepared for how amazing it would be. 10/5 stars, I.....*incoherent happy screaming*.
Anyway please go hear/read it!!!
