The red flags on this man are certainly red flagging.
I can't help but ignore the very loud read flags of the creation of this couple. However, the trope of "touch her and die" simply hits a cord in my soul and I can't stop my self from just devouring the story. Eva and Derek are truly made for each other and you can't help but cheer them on as a reader. I almost wanted more out the ending... not that it wasn't enough, but I literally just wanted the story to keep going. Additionally for a dark romance, I felt as though the violence and gore was not too much and so it was all very palatable (I would alway read trigger warnings for your own preferences). I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
