I saw this on tiktok as a must read. It’s prt of a series and supposedly okay to read as a stand-alone, but I don’t recommend doing that. I didn’t read the other books and I was so lost in some parts when they discussed other characters. I feel like the plot was okay as a stand-alone but the characters have history that isn’t discussed, maybe briefly mentioned and maybe if I knew about them in previous books I’d like this one better. It is EXTREMELY dark and touches on some very difficult topics that are not for everyone. I didn’t find myself connecting to any of the characters and most of the time I was like WTF. Like I said, very very dark book definitely not for everyone.

Bea and Priest, this was one I was really excited to read and it did not disappoint. I will say I wasn’t ready for I’m giving this book a 5/5 on the spicy scale because of the kinks both are into.
Spoiler
the amount of torture and how graphic it was going to be. Like my heart was in my throat during Priest’s two sessions. But I still loved the entire book. Because Bea and Priest having a son, wrecked my heart.Graphic: Torture, Blood, Violence, Kidnapping, Stalking, Child abuse, Murder, Gore, and Death
