(explicit, feral, and dark)
My first thought going into this was, “I can't wait to see how the darkness will heal the darkness.” 🖤 Specifically when it came to Jane and the trauma she'd endured—which progressively got worse as the story unfolded.
My oh my, the darkness did NOT disappoint. 😮💨
This did NOT go how I expected it to at all.
In the beginning, I was actually pissed because Jane's friends were NOT what I needed them to be for her. Thankfully, they came through and didn't disappoint. 🙌🏻
Then we have:
👀 Weird shit happening to Jane
👯 Twins
🖤 Haven & Luther
🔪 Stalking to protect their girl (well...they wanted her to be their girl 😂)
🩸 And two morally black men who have absolutely no problem doing what needs to be done
And protecting her is exactly what they did—in SO many ways. The more the story unfolds, the more you realize just how much is actually going on.
Then there's one subplot where Jane is in a forest and there are literal GHOSTS FOLLOWING HER. 👻
The boys show up and do their thing (coughs)...while the ghosts are ACTIVELY trying to get them, and somehow the ghosts basically get put on the back burner.
Excuse me???
MY CHICKEN ASS DID NOT FORGET ABOUT THE GHOSTS. 😭😂
I was stressed.
There are several other subplots happening throughout the book, but explaining them would require spoilers, and this is definitely one you need to experience without knowing exactly where it's going.

I'd absolutely classify this as Dark Romance, but you're also getting Mystery/Thriller/Horror vibes throughout it.
