This is a dark book with somewhat dubious consent being thrown into the mix at times but it\’s obvious that there\’s much more that we don\’t know from the beginning and I could feel the chemistry between Elsa and Aiden from the first moment she talks about seeing him at school. Not only is the story-line absolutely gripping in and of itself, but the sexiness is off the charts! Shane East and Keira Stevens were made for this series and I can\’t imagine any other narrators doing these books the justice they\’ve done them. I come across gems like this very rarely in the dark romance genre this book is the real deal, it is no pretender and holds no punches! It\’s a book that\’s both unpredictable yet doesn\’t keep you completely in the dark just to keep pumping out books for cash (the author kindly leaves some breadcrumbs for you to put the puzzle together as more information is revealed without giving away all the nitty gritty details). I have the option to read the rest, but I CAN\’T do that now that I know how F***ING perfect Shane East\’s voice fits with his character and how amazing Keira\’s voice was too, and I would just end up frustrated I couldn\’t listen to it. The premise sounded too good and it\’s two of my favorite things mixed together: dark romance/anti-hero with a kinky sadistic streak and a bully to lovers romance. while I don\’t usually buy an audiobook until I know I can binge the whole series one after another, I couldn\’t help myself. I was not disappointed in the LEAST though…. I\’ll preface this review by telling anyone that hasn\’t read the book yet that it might be smart to hold off until the rest of the series is available because I\’m nearly pulling my hair out over here since I decided that I HAD to hear this book right away and couldn\’t hold.
