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

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.

I’m giving this book a 5/5 on the spicy scale because of the kinks both are into.

adventurous challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

3.5

It was an okay book.. it had elements that I liked, and parts that i didnt like as much.. but dont get me wrong, the rating is more of how I felt for the book, I think that as an overall book Its probably more then a 3.5, but for me, it just a little too boring compared to other stories I've read in the past!

The most interesting part for me was the whole serial killer thing, and is a big part of why I actually finished the book, it was more of a crime book then romance, even tho the spice is nice and haawwwt in this one! But like I said, I've just read some really good books recently that it just missed something for me.

I really do recommend reading it, because it is a really interesting story, and a book you can enjoy through a couple of days in nice segments!
