This is definitely one of the darkest book I’ve ever read. But holy shit I enjoyed every second of it. I really felt for Ayla the whole book. I can’t imagine the trauma of going through everything she experienced the entire book. 

The spice between her and Dain,…. Holy shit. Those sex scene were something else. I love this man. I think I should go back to my therapist after reading this book and liking this dude. But I do… 

Also the ending? The reveal? Holy shit. Thank god the next book is already out cause I need it immediately!! I can’t wait to finish this series and see how everything wraps up!!

This book dives deep into the Shadow Man and Lyla's intense, layered relationship, giving us a mix of dark, broody romance and emotional healing. The Shadow Man is everything you'd expect-mysterious, dangerous, and completely obsessed with Lyla. Lyla's story, though heartbreaking, is full of growth, and seeing her step into her own strength was really rewarding. 

 

While this one didn't have as much action as earlier books in the series, it made up for it with all the feels. Their relationship is raw and intense, with some seriously swoon-worthy lines from the Shadow Man that had me blushing. That said, a few parts felt slow, and I found myself wishing for a little more explanation about why the Shadow Man waited so long to rescue Lyla. Still, the emotional depth and twists in the story kept me hooked. 

 

This set the stage perfectly for the final book and I can't wait to start it!

fast-paced

That was amazing. 

Now I have to wait for the last book. 

And I need it like I need water at this point. 

The audio is narrated by Heather Stonewell and Gregory Salinas. They are perfect. 

 

Time to bring the light on the Shadow Man. 

He is obsessed, he is meticulous, he had planned everything and beyond. 

Every piece of each previous books and stories are settling into place. 

His obsession is Lyla. For the past 6 years. 

His goal: destroying the Syndicate. 

But who is Lyla? 

What is her place in this maze? 

 

Tropes:

Stalker

Psychopath 

Touch her and die

Does everything to empoyer her

Helicopter are the new motorcycle
