The way they were self aware, always in each other's head and catching up with what game the other one was trying to play makes this more enjoyable because they weren't each other's victim. They were both hunters fighting for control. A week together, and she still doesn’t get it. There’s nothing to be found. I’m not here for myself, to resolve my psychotic tendencies. To be rehabilitated with the hopes of reentering society. A smart man once told me the wait for something to happen can drive a sane man mad. And this place is full of madness.” Firstly this woman can WRITE 😮‍💨😮‍💨 incredible writing, I was blown away tbh, it’s extremely descriptive and alluring and depictive but on a very deep level, sometimes I was having to read read sentences to fully grasp wtf was even being talked about Objection,” the defense interjects. “Is there a question here, Your Honor? The witness has already provided testimony to her thoughts on the defendant’s state of mind.”

This book is just unbelievably well done. The author put in the perfect amount of darkness, thrill, tension alongwith the psychological details being the cherry on the top. It's been a while since I've read something that had me all invested and anxiously anticipating the next course of actions.

was a complex character and her secrets were insane. I was NOT expecting what was partially revealed at the end. I didn’t particularly like her entirely bc she was kinda passive most of the time until Kallum rattled her *𝗵𝗲𝗵𝗲* TW: violence; kidnapping; emotional, psychological and physical (sometimes) torture; death; pedophilia: obsession and suicide. We’re connected, and we belong together. I’m already a dead man. So if I die in pursuit to obtain the unattainable…then that’s a death I can honor.” Dr. Noble provided the speculated reasoning as to the murder, but not the mutilation, Your Honor. In my opinion—”

Don’t make me slam my gavel, Mr. Hatcher.” The judge raises her gavel in warning. “Objection overruled. Dr. Noble was asked to provide testimony of her professional opinion of the defendant’s state of mind. Since she’s come all this way—” Judge Gellar grants me a telling smile, her dark features more youthful when not fixed in a scowl “—I’d like to hear her thoughts.”My only complaint is that it is a very slow slow slow build. For me it didn't feel like the good kind of build, but it definitely redeemed itself once everything started to happen. When the dominos fall, they fall hard, and the end result is exciting. I don't want to say much more, because I feel like it will ruin the read. I say go into this one blind just know it's more psychological than romance. It's dark and has dark themes and triggers, but to me it still felt more slow psychological thriller than anything else. If you have a hard time at the start, push through. It's so worth it. You’re mine, London. We can dance this violent dance until we bleed each other dry, or we can surrender. Your choice. But I will have you.” Braverman’s ambition is not matched by talent, but if any good came of the Boris Johnson era, the enduring myth that the best and the brightest rise to the top was finally given its last rites. Braverman is on a mission: to reshape the right in her authoritarian and intolerant image, hopefully with her at its helm. Whether the mantle of leadership falls to her or someone else, on the battleground of ideas, she has already won. What in the hell did i just read you ask. Well let me tell you. First this is my first book by Trisha Wolfe and damn does this woman have a way with words. This might be 4.5 read but I'm way too happy and thrilled to give it anything less than 5 deranged stars.

I have completely immersed myself in the atmosphere she created, giving me the opportunity to get inside the mind of each characters and visualizing through their eyes every scene depicted in front of me. That is talent. But the lore, Oh the lore is where my mind completely short-circuited but in a good way. 𝐔𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐩. 𝐈 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.
