As a reader, I struggle with the longer chapters because I find that I get distracted. Thank you, Colleen, for that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for the review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We meet Sloan who&#8217;s strong, fiesty and has lived a hard life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then meet Carter who is your cinnamon roll type of hero. He&#8217;s super sweet, gentle, but is savage when his girl is hurt or is in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book is about Sloan and Carter and what they go through to be together. There were parts of the book where I actually wasn&#8217;t sure if this story had an HEA or not. You&#8217;ll have to read to find out by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is also written in three POVs. Sloan, Carter and Asa&#8217;s. I have to say that as a lover of villains, I absolutely loved Asa and his twisted brain. My heart hurt for him and what he went through as a child and how he just wanted to be loved. Even though his views were messed up as a result of how he was raised, he loved Sloan. Hard. Will that love cost him everything in the end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleen Hoover&#8217;s darker, thriller books, are my favourite of hers. Verity is my all time favourite book of hers but I enjoyed this one as well. I hope she writes more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=twintalk-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B0C1YY5SQR&#038;asins=B0C1YY5SQR&#038;linkId=5d03563ad9bc6713c0c804dfcac61676&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The instant #1\u00a0New York Times\u00a0and\u00a0USA Today\u00a0bestseller, a story about a woman caught in a dangerous web of obsessive love, trying to find a way out before it&#8217;s too late&#8230; this new, updated edition is\u00a0a &#8220;barn-burner&#8221; (New York Post) and Colleen Hoover&#8217;s darkest romantic thriller since\u00a0Verity.
