this book belongs because…
it's dark, unconventional, and left me wanting more
verdict
she's a college student who's a little too curious for her own good. he's a convicted killer sitting safely behind bars... until he isn't. what starts as fascination quickly turns into obsession, and from their very first real encounter, things spiral into territory neither of them can come back from. disturbing, addictive, and definitely one of the most unique dark romances i've read in a while.
vibe
this book is weird. respectfully.
and i mean that in the best possible way.
if you're tired of every dark romance feeling like the same billionaire, mafia boss, or college bully in a slightly different outfit, craving venom is going to catch you off guard. it's uncomfortable, obsessive, intense, and constantly pushes into territory where you're questioning whether you should be enjoying yourself as much as you are.

reader fit
you like your dark romance genuinely dark, your heroes morally bankrupt, and your spice a little unhinged. if the phrase "i can fix him" has ever crossed your mind, this man is probably beyond repair, but i have a feeling you'll try anyway.
you want a conventional romance, a traditionally redeemable hero, or something that plays it safe. this book thrives on crossing lines and seeing what happens next.
content warnings
check trigger warnings before reading. seriously. stalking, violence, murder, imprisonment, obsession, psychological manipulation, and unconventional sexual content all play a role in this story. this is not a beginner dark romance.
standalone + hea
standalone dark romance with a happily ever after.
