I highlighted something like 250 parts of this books….I LOVED IT. It destroyed me in such a beautiful way.
Firstly I adore Keri Lake and her writing style. I am not someone who easily pictures in their mind exactly what is going on in books and the rooms/places etc that are described. But with both of her books that I have read, I have almost had the movie playing along in my head, and to me that is the sign of a good author.
I fell so absolutely in love with Ripley and all his demons and like not to be dramatic but I would die for him.
Dylan is this amazing, strong. Self-succulent warrior woman who has overcome so many dark things in her life. And the fact she still has positivity and the strength to go on, just amazing.
There’s also the mystery aspect to this book that keeps you just as hooked as the dark romance and when I say you don’t get the full picture until the LAST 2% I really mean that.
By the end I was hyperventilating, crying, screeching with all the emotions. 
So so good!
