I wanted to love this book. I was really looking forward to reading it but it fell flat. It had so much potential but there were so many plot holes that it just left me confused on how certain things came to be. There was no clear indicator (at least in the audio book) on what was the past and present because it just flashed back and forth without warning within minutes, leaving me consistently saying “huh?!” and rewinding to try to figure out what was happening.

I honestly really enjoyed this one.

There are serious trigger warnings with this book, but I have no morals, so that's never a problem. The romance is good, but honestly I was more sucked in by some of the secondary character than anything. I'm so sad this is a standalone, this could easily be turned into a kick-ass series. Unfortunately, my common complaint with Amo Jones books is that the ending always feels very rushed but that's a small downside to an otherwise good read.

It is dark, it is twisted, but don't let that scare you.
