This book had a lot going on for it, I felt a disconnect with the characters though. 

Lex is very hot and cold. He likes Selena but keeps pushing her away every chance he gets, especially during a hard time. 

Selena is describe as meek and innocent. She is until Lex corrupts her. I feel like people are half and half. It just seemed like it would take people a lot longer if not at all to become a killer. 

She all of a sudden, starts killing with Lex. Like really?!?  

I found the plot lacking, quite a lot of spice but not enough depth.

My second book by this author and yet another five star read! I would 100% say go into this book blind if you don't have any triggers. It was an incredible read and I'll definitely be sad to see these characters go, but they'll permanently reside in my brain.
