i didn’t know what to expect going into this book but oh my goddd i loved it. i do wish there was more focus on the trauma that mara experienced, hence my rating of the book. i adore sophie lark’s work and i will never pass up an opportunity to read something written by her. i’m starting the next book in the duet asap!

This book is dark and I was surprised that it didn’t include a trigger warning page. With that said it was a fun dark romance and I did find the characters likable. This is definitely a morally grey love interest.

i understand it, not having a ton of plot, considering that it is in a duet series, but it felt very slow and like not a lot happened. i didn’t necessarily dislike it, and i know that the cliffhanger is going to keep me reading until i’ve finished the series, but, there was something missing.

Not only do I give both of these 5 ⭐️, but I can confidently say this is my FAVORITE duet/series to date! This author figured out the perfect balance of steam and plot, and had some downright funny scenes too.
 
Our MMC, a psychopath and sculptor, is involved in an ongoing rivalry with a fellow artist and serial killer, who “gifts him the FMC. What is mostly characterized as a dark romance of stalking and obsession, somehow manages a slow burn love simultaneously. It features a game of wits and survival, and also overcoming childhood trauma. The first book in the set has a faster paced plot, while the second covered more timeline overall. The accompanying music playlist suggestions were on point with this one,  I truly felt immersed in this story.
