Customer Reviews Summary

*ARC review, all opinions are my own*Anyone that knows me knows how much i love the Cat and Mouse duet. now, multiply that by 100 and you get My Dreadful Darling. i devoured every word from this book. H.D. Carlton truly outdid herself bc wow. the main characters are absolutely addicting, the storyline hooked me in and had me at the edge of my seat the entire time, the side characters are just as addicting as the main, the smut… THE SMUT!!!! so insanely hot i keep going back to read.Dread and Reverie are by far my favourite couple from HD, they didn’t even ask, they just burrowed themselves into my heart and mind, took a big chunk of my soul, and decided to become my favourite. the banter, the hatred, the pain, their absolutely deranged relationship, the tension, and i mean the sexual tension was so strong i couldn’t handle it. the smut!!!!! I cannot stop thinking about the smut, I wanted so badly to be sitting in a cuck chair.These characters are complex, and their relationship even more. Dread is unhinged, feral, angry, but beneath all, he’s hurt. Reverie is on the receiving end of that anger and hurt, and boy does he take it out on her. but one thing HD will never do is give us a doormat FMC, even tho Reverie has her own demons haunting her, she still takes Dread’s anger so well and gets him back at every turn, not once backing down. They both have been through hell, both hiding behind walls, but when they come together? absolutely terrifying, but oh so steamy. They had me crying from my eyes and thighs.The storyline captured me instantly, I was hooked and could not put the book down. I have not had a dark romance storyline hook me in this strongly in a while and I truly devoured it. That cliffhanger tho? I have been going insane since finishing. Rereading to find clues, hints, anything to help me figure it out. i’ve genuinely been thinking about it day and night and I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book, My Darling Reverie, bc this is killing me. And I knowww Dread is going to be even more unhinged in MDR.The side characters, specifically Dread’s friends, Rogue and Severen… yk HD can’t blame us for constantly begging for books about side characters when she makes them this good!!! all I’m going to say is I have 3 holes for a reason. Tyvm.My Dreadful Darling became a fav dark romance so quickly, everything about it has me in a chokehold. Dread and Reverie are perfect for each other in the most toxic way ever. and Dread’s filthy mouth is something I will never, ever stop thinking about. I mean jeez, this man had both me and Reverie dumb for him. I can’t wait to dive into MDR and see the absolute chaos it’ll bring!
