Diablos immaturity was just too over the top. I couldn’t get passed it. I didn’t actually like either character. Which sucks. Will skip over to Ben.

I liked this to a point but it was just too shallow for me.

We don't really get to know anything about Skylar. He goes from being adamant nothing will happen between him and Diablo to then embarking on a physical relationship - there was no real reasoning for the switch in thinking?

I enjoyed how bratty Diablo was to begin, but it got repetitive very quickly and went on too long before anything started to change. Again all we find out is he likes to use his saws and play his game, but we already knew that much from previous books. Is he truly a psychopath or just a socially awkward fan of dismemberment?

Really I just would have liked to get to know the characters better. Why do I care if they're together when I know nothing about either of them individually?

Also the whole 'bad guy' situation didn't feel believable at all, and resolved so quickly. If Diablo was capable of what he did, why did he ever need the bodyguard or safe houses? It just didn't make much sense to me.

This series is definitely hit and miss.

Now what in the hell was this? This was so messy. Diablo acts like a petulant child and is so annoying and I’m honestly concerned why Skyler likes that at all. There’s no way a 30 year old man should be interested in someone acting like that. Huge red flag. This was icky!!! No!!!!

This one was not for me. Diablo is thoroughly unlikeable, and while I understand the cause, I still could barely stand finishing his book. The sex scenes are fine but nof really my cup of tea either. There just wasn't much character growth and it seemed like the love came from nowhere.
