Kal & Elena… where do I even begin. Please read the trigger warnings if you are sensitive about certain things! Their story is not an easy one. It’s full of angst, hard obstacles each character has to overcome, a VERY complicated past & lots of damaged characters. I felt all the emotions with this book. Kal angered me, got me hot & made me cry. When I say he is the darkest man Sav has written to this date, I mean it. He is the definition of an antihero & man did he deliver on that. Where he is darkness & hurt, Elena is lightness & healing. I loved getting to watch Elena grow & become a young woman. She has to overcome a lot when it comes to her family & I just applaud her for it. Yes there are times when I wanted to smack her & just say YOU DESERVE BETTER THEN KAL MOVE ON… but overall their story made me FEEL everything. Sav did such an amazing job of making me connect with the characters that I felt so deeply for them. Everything they went through I went through & dang the emotions are high. This is a beautifully broken story about how your past doesn’t have to define who you are, what your future looks like or what you deserve. The growth alone that these two go through in their relationship is astronomical. If you’re ready for a dark, twisted, super hot dirty talking romance that will give you angst & heartbreak for days before healing your soul… this is for you!
