I really enjoyed this book! I love when the dark part of dark romance isn’t between the main characters, but for protection? Absolutely perfect!
Daria and Melanie were such amazing characters and I want to hug and protect them so much. Daria is so badass and scary I loved her! Daria and her dad’s relationship was weirdly wholesome considering what he does for a living but I really liked him.
The smut wasn’t my favorite, just a few of the words used wasn’t my cup of tea but I really loved certain aspects of it and really loved Mel and Daria’s relationship!
Sometimes, justice comes in the form of revenge. And sometimes, revenge is done by a contract killer's daughter. The perfect theme of this book is "Be careful who you mess with."
I love Daria and Melanie's connection. I love how protective Daria is over her. The father-daughter relationships were actually very sweet in this story - considering the content. It's a dark romance, so please check the TWs... but it's a very good revenge story as well!!
Not horrible…but not great.
It was alright.
I read the sample on kindle and it pulled me in however the rest just felt like it fell short.
Spice? 6/10 story? Solid 6.5 from me.
It felt so rushed and the revenge scene was soooo hyped up but such a let down, I felt like it could’ve been more drawn out since it was talked about for a decent chunk of the book.
I liked it, but I doubt I’ll ever re read it.

Phew, this was a wild ride. Sometimes you just need a book where the conflict comes from outside forces and our two main characters are ride or die. It was nice to see Daria and Mel fall hard and fast and I loved the silly and loving dialogue between them. The triggering parts are heartbreaking but thankfully some is not on page.
Who knew dark could be so rewarding. Daria did everything that I would have done for my daughters. I would have brought the world down around their heads. The sad thing, is that there was no need for what happened to happen. Some people are just evil. And this kind of evil generally gets away with it. But not this time.
What I like about Melanie is that she didn’t wuss out and get all wishy washy and playing continual victim. She took EVERYTHING in stride from first know. She took back her power, clung to love and moved on with a new family and a new life. She not only survived, she’s thriving.
We need the Kanes and the Darias in the world. They set wrong, right. The world can breathe a bit easier as they take out the most heinous and sadistic amongst us. I wish I had it in me to be that way. Me? I’m a Melanie. I accept and applaud the Daria’s in the world.
I’m only Daria when it comes to my own daughters I love them like Kane loves his daughter. I’d kill then die for them.
This book is just amazing. I wasn’t sure going into it. But the way the author writes it you can’t help but love it.
