I don’t even know where to start with this review. This story completely sucked me in. It took me on a dark and twist journey that I couldn’t get enough of.

Alistair is dark, he is twisted, he is a force, he is fiercely loyal to his three best friends. There is more to him than what meets the eye and he is a complex character. He draws you in and captivates you. Briar is a BA. She doesn’t come from money or the perfect life. She isn’t a weak character. I love that she fights back, she doesn’t just lay down and take the hatred that Alistair is spewing towards her. She dishes it back. She is also drawn to the darkness, specifically his darkness.

The chemistry between them is insane and intense. The back and forth. The tension. The delicious slow burn of their relationship. It’s completely addicting. The darkness and the suspense in this story is intense but captivating.

While this is Alistair and Briar’s story, there is plenty of the rest of the Hollow Boys. Rook, Thatcher, and Silas. Each of them are different from one another, but they have a common goal and they are all fiercely loyal to one another. I can’t wait to get to know more about the rest of the boys. I also loved Lyra, who quickly become Briar’s best friend and someone she could confide in and trust. I definitely hope there is plenty more of her in the future books, too.

This book is dark and there are things literally from page one that may be difficult for some people to read, so proceed with caution.

If you’re looking for a dark, enemies to lovers, romantic suspense story this is one to check out.
