1.5 stars.
Let me summarize this book through Caelian’s perspective:
I hate women, I’m bad and dark and scary, women are only meant for sex and it’s pathetic, I don’t feel anything, I don’t care about her, she’s mine, must kill now, I don’t care about her, she’s mine.

Caelian and Raven “baby crow”
FUCK ME, what’s better than two psychopaths being together? It’s so good

I have so many feelings about this book. Check those TW, as always. The initial plot was definitely captivating and I love the premise so much. The first book was definitely a slow burn with lots of character building. Caelian and Raven are toxic as fuck, and Breck did not shy away from this.
I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to like the characters to enjoy a book, and that’s what kept me reading at first. The thing is, if an author can illicit such strong feelings about a character for me… you’re doing something right.
With that said… From the get go, I hated Aria. That only amplified throughout the series. As time goes on, Raven also got on my last damn nerve. Her actions are not at all consistent with the character that was built in book one.
Overall, the series was solid but things declined after book 1 for me. The plot was what hooked me and kept me reading, but i skimmed through a decent chunk of the last book. It got repetitive after a while. I know I’m picking apart a lot of things, but it was good enough to keep me reading. A lot of people loved it, so it’s worth diving into.

Wow! I went in blind with this book — didn’t know anything bout A.R. Breck, and nothing about the novel! So honestly I had no idea what to expect! But boy was I NOT disappointed!
So lemme preface by saying, I love true crime and all serial killer docs! This was literally a serial killer doc combined with a dark romance, add in enemies to lovers and I’m sold!
The way A.R. Breck was able to build her characters up and the plot was flawless. She had me guessing at every turn, and literally at the edge of my seat! The sexual tension between the main characters was impeccable! And honestly the serial killer events/plot aspect just put the f’in cherry on the damn sundae! Well done A.R. I cannot wait for book 2!
