The second half just fell to pieces. The author seemed to suddenly remember that her characters - like the therapist - were missing names and so named them. It also introduced a bunch of other side characters with no identifying features making it impossible to tell who was who - they even threw in some surprise twins just to prevent the effort it would take to make up a better plot. Not to mention the whole fake death situation. Just plain confusing - even the characters don’t really seem to know what happened by the end. But that’s fine, they only have a 2d brain anyway as they have no character aside from being s*x addicts - even 50 shades had more character building than this!

I quite enjoyed the plot and pacing on this one; there was the obligatory dark romance trope, but also some good thriller elements, unexpected twists, and admittedly tear jerking moments.
Even though the LORDS series can be read as standalones, I stand by the author's suggestion to read them in order, as this one specifically involved a lot of callbacks to both The Sinner and The Sacrifice. This book almost felt like a conclusion to the series, tieing in previous characters and wrapping up plot points, so I am very curious what to expect with Madness (releasing at the end of the year).

The FMC needs serious therapy.
The second half of this book was messy, and the flashbacks were repetitive.
MMC isn't "morally grey," he's abusive.
I've read other books from the L.O.R.D.S series, so I went into this with a fairly open mind.. overall, I was disappointed.
