The fact that this is Leigh Rivers' debut novel is insane; this book is phenomenal. This is an enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies-back-to-lovers second chance dark romance. The story revolves around Kade (MMC), his twin sister Luciella, her best friends Stacey (FMC) and Ty, and his best friends Base and Dez. Kade and Luciella are the children of the notorious serial killer Tobias Mitchell. Believe it or not, that is not the focus of this book.

The story centers on Kade and Stacey. After hating each other in high school, they finally hook up during a game of Truth or Dare. Their love affair has to be kept secret so Luciella doesn't lose it over her best friend being with her brother. Unbeknownst to her, another one of her best friends is also hooking up with one of Kade's friends. During Kade and Stacey's love affair, he finds out she has cheated on him, they break things off, and go back to hating each other.

Fast forward two years, and during a house party, they are thrust back into each other's lives. This description is vague because I do not want to give you any spoilers. Let's just say Kade is no longer the awkward boy she knew in high school, and she is in for a wild ride. The character buildup and plot in this book are so good they hook you right in. I can tell you right now that you should have book 2 on standby when you finish, I ate this book up and I'm diving into Book 2. If you want a series to read, this is it.
