Sophie does it again!
This book is dark like fr look up trigger warnings. 
Listen, this is not a fluffy happy romance. This is the MMC will literally murder someone for you or maybe even you. So go in with those expectations. It's toxic. It's dirty, It's dark in the absolute best ways.
I could not put this down, finished it in 24 hours.
This one kept me on my toes the entire time, the smut is next level so good!

My first Sophie Lark book!!!
I'm so glad I finally decided to take the plunge tbh. She's kind of a badass. No, I take that back. She is a total badass. Sophie, I bow at your feet, girl. You managed to make me, a true crime junkie who can't stand when people romanticize killers, to somehow love a full-on serial killer??? Granted, he's a lot better than his competitor. Listen to me, defending a murderer. Sophie, babe, what have you done to me?

Anyway, check your trigger warnings on this one, people. While it is a masterpiece, it is NOT for the faint of heart by any means.

AND there is a sequel or part two or whatever you want to call it. So if you liked this one, make sure to check out its companion There is No Devil. I haven't read her just yet, but I'm on my way and very ready for more.

I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK 

the things i would let cole blackwell do to me is astronomical! i swear to all that is good in this world, if that man asked me to strip naked, run into oncoming traffic, and let car after car run my ass over i would. without a hesitation. head empty, only cole. 

sophie lark stuck her whole colussy in this book. sweet lord look at how i’m behaving.. like i ain’t got no damn sense. well i don’t so hahahaha. 
there are no saints is, to me, a damn near perfect book and i will want to be buried with it when i die. the un-holy sounds that came out of my mouth when i read certain parts is embarrassing! 

anyway wow wow woooooooooooooooooooooow this book is great.
