This is definitely a dark one but also in some ways it felt like it wasn’t (but don’t let me fool you it is). What I more mean is that there’s also a beautiful story underneath this darkness and it’s a story told in a harshly beautiful way. Not one that makes you feel all happy and cosy reading, but one that’s hard to look at but you can’t look away either. 
Daniela Manzana is a prisoner, stuck in a relationship with a man who is the worst kind - he uses pain to keep her as his possession whilst claiming it’s love. Then one day, she is taken from Vinny and she lands herself into the world of Dante - Lucifer, the devil - and let me say right now he is not the knight in shining armour of this story. However he might just be the brutal, soul destroying man that Daniela needs to rid herself mentally physically and emotionally from Vinny, once and for all.

This book kept me HOOKED. I started off reading about 80 pages every day and it really only took me the first 100 pages to be fully invested in the story. 
The love in the book is cruel, savage and brutal. This is not a romantic book. However, I think it would have been a disservice to the story if it had been. The animalistic love works in this story.
I really enjoyed the writing style, I felt it fit the story, and I felt the story moved at a good pace. Maybe slightly on the slower side but I never felt it dragging and the pace overall worked well for the story.
One thing I especially loved was that this book didn’t need words to show the characters arc - I am especially looking at Dante here. He is very much a man of few words but it was his actions and the way he went about things that told you how he felt and how his feelings were changing and I loved seeing that and working out which actions meant what.
I think the character of Daniela, whilst without a doubt girl needs some SERIOUS therapy, is a really strong character and I loved seeing her come out of her shell more as she grew confidence and escaped Vinny’s clutches more and more.

Some things that made this a lower rating for me:
I was desperate to see how it ended, and I kept telling myself through the bad it’d be worth it for the end. Not gonna lie, the end kind of disappointed me, like a lot. I don’t feel as if the story is completely finished so maybe I will have to check out book 2 but I went into this thinking the story would feel completed after 1, and 2 was a companion novel. I haven’t felt like this was the case. Also after absolutely everything that Daniela goes through I was hoping that right at the end, she would have some reassurances from Dante, maybe not romance but at least some clear words to indicate his feelings - that doesn’t really happen and I was left feeling wanting. 
Last reason for my lower rating was that by the end I REALLY wanted Dante and Daniela to COMMUNICATE (with words) more then they did. Whilst sex may have been their language there’s only so much you can get through that.
