Absolutely the best book of the series so far. Dark, suspenseful, slow-burn, twisted romance - and that’s not including the plot. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book, racing through the pages, waiting for the next twist, the next episode of drama, the angst and torment behind the masks and politicking. I do wish we got more of the lore and world-building of Solaria, but I have a feeling that will be revealed the more Tory and Darcy learn about this world they are now officially a part of. A dark, dangerous, highly addictive series. TW: manipulation, abuse, bully romance, sexual content, coarse language.
Graphic: Sexual harassment, Physical abuse, Alcohol, Violence, Emotional abuse, Toxic relationship, Bullying, Abandonment, Sexism, Gaslighting, and Death of parent
