Customer Reviews Summary

arc review 💓oh she is sooo back!!! This was AMAZINGThis follows Reverie, and Dread. Reveries father has gone to prison as one of the most notorious serial killers, her father is responsible for the murder of dreads mother. They both attend the same college in Hollow Canyon, where Dread is an Olympic swimmer and poster boy, and he decides to make Reveries life HELL for what her father did to his mother, and the fact that no one believed Dread as a young boy, and Reverie’s story as a child about her father did nothing to show Dread was telling the truth.This is a true enemies to lovers, with the most explosive yet toxic relationship between them both. I truly felt like Dreads character was so complex and flawed in all the right ways, and Rev is just phenomenal in this. The stuff she’s endured in her childhood and the way she keeps her head held high in this despite Dreads torment of her!!This is strong on the bully romance trope, and the spice is absolutely INSANE!!! This is one of the spiciest books I’ve read to date, and only feeds into the explosive push and pull between them throughout this book. He’s also extremely possessive of her and HD Carlton knows how to right the perfect possessive mmcThere is a copycat killer out there, and someone’s toying with Reverie and I neeeeeed the answers!!!! Is it her father? Is it the copycat? Is it someone else?I also loved the side characters, Dreads two best friends Rogue and Severen, and Revs bestie Sable. It’s all coming together nicely and whilst this book is long (over 600 pages) it’s already not long enough and I’m so glad she made this a duet as I feel like the plot development, the development of the romance and the complicated feelings between Dread & Rev is not being rushed it’s so gripping, so dark & toxic and I ate. It. Up. 😮‍💨
