From The Publisher:

From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a new STANDALONE dark romance about a villain and his new obsession.

I caught the attention of a monster.

I didn't ask for it.

Didn't even see it coming.

But the moment I do, it's too late.

Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm.

He's cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage.

The worst part is that no one sees his devil side.

I do.

And that will cost me everything.

I run, but the thing about monsters?

They always chase.

This book is a dark unconventional romance and contains themes that aren't to everyone's liking. Please check the author's note for content warnings before reading.

Not for me.

I don't know how Author's can load every Hero in one book.

It was just too much. Trying to describe someone who isn't the Hero with Hero terms, a reason why I don't like series.

It was too much. Strong Heroinez are not my thing, unless of it's justified. Because strong heroines equals foolish heroines.

Rina Kent is not my author

MMC kept sexually assaulting FMC, and instead of stabbing him in the balls with an ice pick, she decided that deep down she secretly liked being treated that way.

Wow, loved it. One of the best I read in a long time. Not for everyone. He’s an obsessive, possessive, very violent sycophant. She’s strong and pure. When I say its not for everyone I mean it, there’s suffocating, strong language, violence and sexual harassment. Loved the characters both.
