Overall, this was a very solid read! I listened to the audiobook while working out. The story had me hooked fairly quickly on and caused me to work out for longer periods than I anticipated (never a bad thing for me). Throughout the book there are twists and turns that keep you guessing. The relationship between the members of the Darker family has so many layers and the author did a great job at peeling all the secrets back but by bit. I was a bit disappointed by parts of the ending, but I will say I didn’t see any of it coming! I did let out some choice words as the ending unraveled out of shock which is not something that happens often while reading. 

A few trigger warnings: description of nonconsensual activity, some gory descriptions, no animals are harmed, death
