I seriously enjoyed this and read it in one sitting always the sight of a good book. I adored the premise of a female serial killer on a crusade of personal vengeance out to harm those who prey on the vulnerable. Brie has been shaped by her past growing up in a cult her life has been filled with unimaginable abuse. This treatment culminated in her being dumped badly beaten and near death in the desert. It was here she found an unlikely guardian and teacher Samuel.

Samuel took the young girl and moulded her in his image giving Brie the tools she would need and setting her on her path of healing. Her rise from the ashes sees her taking control of her destiny and forging her own path now Brie is the darkness one that wears a mask of civility and her victims never see coming until it’s too late.

Brie is lethal and unapologetic in her intentions she knows what she is and revels in her nature. She takes pride in the fact that she is different. When she encounters Eli one of the facility professors she senses in him a kindred soul but finds herself annoyed by his conformity. Initially, she can’t stand him this is despite being also insanely drawn to him. It’s a new sensation for her and one she’s not sure she’s entirely comfortable with.

From the instant, Eli spots Brie in the coffee shop he’s hooked. But then he manages to leave a disastrous first impression and every encounter only seems to make things worse. There’s also the issue that she’s a student finishing her thesis not that she’s Eli’s so technically it’s not against the rules. Still, he is drawn to Brie anyway her apparent darkness and unique attitude only intriguing him more she doesn’t wear her usual mask for him and he finds himself wanting to break free from his rigid box for her.

When these two then connect it’s insanely hot. These two have so much chemistry together. The intimate scenes between them were explicit and toe curling and definitely not vanilla. We have toys choking and rope and so much more included this is definitely high on the heat scale. I also adored the dynamic these two shared and Brie for the first time in her life is getting a taste of what it’s like to be cared for so intensely. It’s all so new for her and she finds herself slowly opening up and trusting someone besides her mentor Samual but she’s also scared that when Eli learns the truth it’s all going to come crumbling down around her.

This had action and danger and heat and a very interesting subject matter. It’s dual POV which is my favourite and the writing was top-notch. I especially liked how Eli eventually accepted Brie completely for herself not expecting her to change her nature for him I love it when this occurs. I enjoyed this one immensely and I definitely recommend reading this it’s certainly a stand-out example in its genre and deserves all the stars.
