It’s like if you took a bunch of booktok books into a blender and sprinkled them together. I couldn’t stop reading it though…

Foster “siblings” who create a bond unlike any sibling relationship you’ll ever hear. He’s her protector. She’s his comfort. This isn’t your ordinary family and definitely not your ordinary lovers. She was always his, from the very first day. The corn maze scene👀

You see how good we are together, Olivia? We could've had the world, and you had to ruin it. I was going to give you everything you ever wanted. Now I need to take. I nearly have all of you. 
I have your mind. 
T have your body. 
T have your soul. The fear I instill in you. The pain I inflict when you defy me. 
You have a black heart, little sister, but I'll own that soon too.

Tropes: Stalking; taboo: step siblings(not blood related; both adopted); OTT & obsessive MMC and mask & chase play

This may not suite to certain readers so read TW b4.

Malachi and Olivia, both foster siblings, shared a bond that rose above simple family ties; forbidden. But it didn’t stop them.
Malachi considered himself to be Olivia's protector, profoundly has a huge possessiveness and connection with her.
When a situation took steps to seperate them.
Years later, Malachi stalks her and keeps her nearby; as in killing any men who she touches.  The betrayal he feels is still boiling as he not only stalks her but fulfills her darkest fantasy by also satisfying his own taboo lust.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a dark romance to this extent. Please read the TW! I did enjoyed it. It was crazy and to keep in mind that some things are meant to stay in books.
There are some ow drama(for thoses who don’t like that.)
And MMC communicates with sign languages; Rep. and a somewhat sub: He's waiting for instructions, the clueless look in his eyes making me giddy -Malachi Vize, innocent only for me, on his knees for his sister, looking like I own him.

Not so innocent as he acts:
Malachi: Since you're teaching me everything else, will you teach me how to say your name? I might fuck the pronunciation up a few times, but I want to know how to say it.

PSA; it wasn’t as dark as I expected based on others reviews.
PSA2; I still do not like their parents especially their mom for selling her daughter’s virginity.
PSA3: Malachi is a sociopath: Go kiss your future husband, little sister. And when you do, you better think about me and all the ways I'll fuck you in his blood.

Very juvenile langue for this type of book, would have benefitted from better editing. To fast paced to incite any type of emotion, the graphic parts of the content was ok. 
The book tries to be dark but there is no build up to make the “darkness” last. It is very taboo, but a forgettable read it left no impact or noteworthy impression.

H. D. Carlton should read this and takes notes. 

I devoured this book. 
I do feel like it could’ve been a bit longer though. 
Ending character turnaround seemed a little rushed, but I’m still here for it.

This book is not for newbies of the Dark Romance genre. I have read quite a few dark romances and this one is definitely dark. I have tried to include a list of content warnings, however it is not exhaustive as there is content in the book that is not available from the provided options. 

If you choose to read this, READ THE CONTENT WARNINGS. 

On to my actual review- 
This book is wildly insane. I have learned many new things about myself whilst reading it. It is not for the feint of heart. There is fake brother/sister relations (both adopted separately) and lots of inappropriate touching between raised siblings.

That being said, I really did enjoy reading this twisted little book.
