Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the sexiest killer of them all?
Ember: As she struggles with a dark past, she has become the most vigilant serial killer Rochester New York has ever seen. Her determination to create her own justice in the world has made her blind to the other shadows who are stalking the night. Her biggest rival of all has now set his targeted focus on her.
Lucius: His father is breathing down his neck to end the evasive little shadow known as Snow White. He has been studying her to find her weaknesses, but while he’s been trying to unveil the cracks in her foundations, he’s uncovered some of his own. Lucius has to make a decision to end the only rival who’s ever been a challenge for him or give in to his all consuming desire.
With a particularly clever criminal analyst, and their enemies only a breaths distance away, can Ember and Lucius resist the game of dangerous temptations, or will the cracks they find in their own reflections cause them both to shatter?
What do you get when you have a horror lover with daddy issues? A whorror author! I am all things gore and (w)horror! My list of publications is the Reflections series, the connective Asylum Devils series, Bodies duet, Bloody Valentine from the St. Valentine series, and Mara of the Wellard asylum series. I have a lot of works in progress and can't wait to share them with you all!
Shattered Reflections is full of twists and turns. I kept thinking what the f*** is actually going on. There is definitely something much bigger at play, and I hope we find out soon because I need to know ASAP!!!
This is a story about 2 deranged serial unalivers that are unaliving for very different reasons.
I loved that both the main characters suited each other personality wise (completely unhinged). It was obvious that they both felt more for each other, other than hate. But not all is as it seems with these 2 characters.
This is a really dark thriller romance with a sprinkle of snow white and santa clause mixed with it, so please check trigger warnings ⚠️
Please add this book to your TBR immediately. It's worth the read. I read it in one sitting ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much to SK and her amazing team for giving me the opportunity to ARC read. All opinions are my own 😊
👥 multiple pov 👥 serial unaliver rivals 👥 stalker vibes 👥 psychological twists 👥 dark snow white vibes 👥 super spicy and kinky 🔪
Wow!! S.K. Pryntz did not disappoint!! It’s about two rival serial unalivers! There’s a lot of dark, hate, revenge, Spice and a plot twist that had my jaw drop!! Highly recommend and looking forward to reading more books from this author. Please check trigger warnings before reading!
Our FMC Ember is a badass serial unaliver called Snow White, she doesn’t unalive innocents, they’re all bad people. Whilst our other FMC Ella is a criminal analyst trying to determine who Snow White is following evidence. The MMC Lucius is also a serial unaliver but he chooses anyone and he’s not happy about her being on his patch.
The story progresses along with unaliving, kidnapping, torture and smexy times with our two MCs at times, we also meet other characters her colleague, her sister, his sister etc. don’t want to spoil it ☺️
It was an intriguing storyline though I had already worked it out at the beginning of the book, didn’t detract from me reading until the end.
There was kink, a deliciously dark romance, two rival serial k!llers, obsessive stalking and the intensity of the psychological twists at times— Just… wowzer! If you like your MCs veering on the unhinged, have a thing for dark Snow White energy and enjoy the spice turned all the way up then Shattered Reflections comes highly recommended— by Me!
S.K. Pryntz captivates— a three-POV read, the curveballs and excruciatingly divine slow burn just kept me wanting more. Character development is on-point and they each are immediate standouts for totally different reasons because their motivations are worlds apart.
Now I do like a good Bratva read and I got that here. One name: Lucius… oh my dear Goddess, YES! Yes… yes. I found him, He’s mine, Sharing in this case is not an option. The rest of you need to leave off! 🤣 I read “stalker” books, ‘cos ya’ll be making all the MMCs from the books I like stalker boys now. Hehehe... but generally I don't fan girl over the idea of being stalked. In this case, I am shocked to report... I would gladly be stalked by Lucius. Only in book-world though, alright?!
And Ember, I adored her! The way she approaches her k!lls, the reasons behind it, her twisted morally grey “well” meaning heart… ugh! Girlfriend is totally unhinged, but in the best possible way. Like I said, ADORE!
Then there’s Ella, the detective that wants, no needs, to crack this case and apprehend the perp… the one the police have dubbed the “Snow White K!ller”. One MC hunts the other for justice and the other hunts because these k!llings are bad for Bratva business.
I enjoyed the psychological explorations and thought-provoking content. There’s so much I want to say and each one is a spoiler. And I won't do that! So please, someone else read this book so you can talk to me about it!
Now, lets talk about the devilish duo, Lucius and Ember— together! And how their dynamic is on flippin’ fire! The banter gave me giggles and flutters all at once and there's something kinda special about this particular enemies-to-lovers pairing. I 🖤 them so much! Sheesh… see how fan-girly I am over here? It's becoming a sickness. No really… I'm concerned!😈🫠🤔 The fact that the story continues on pleases me to no end because that means I get my next fix of Luc and Em with a whole new storyline to devour and investigate with a fine-tooth comb. I cannot wait to read the next instalment!

Absolutely loved this book! I could not put it down, it was fast paced and kept me wondering what was going to happen next.

The twist in this book had me second guessing myself, once it was explained what had occurred I was gobsmacked😮 100% recommend this book but PLEASE check the trigger warnings first to make sure it’s for you! 🥰

You had me at two serial unalivers. This book was nothing short of phenomenal! I am so excited that the book world will soon see what an amazing author that S.K is! Her writing takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. You literally cannot stop reading. Her books have all the spice and even more plot. Two rival serial unalivers with a nod to Snow White?! Say no more! Ella is a criminal analyst determined to find out who is doing these killings but what she finds may be more then anyone could have imagined. If you like dark romance with an amazing plot and even better spice and a bit of revenge with some suspense then this is your book!!! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for S.K. She will forever be a one click author!! Please mind your Triggers!! There are several and she has made them clear! Know your limits 🖤
5⭐️for the book as a whole 5⭐️for the plot 5🌶️ for the spice.
I love this book! This is a psychological thriller dark romance and OMG is it executed well! I read this book in less than a day. I was completely sucked in right from the beginning. I love that we get 3 POV and then at the end you get a mind f*ck on 2 of the POV. If you are paying attention to the bread crumbs being left, you’ll figure it out like I did, but it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the book. I also love that although this is the first in a series that I didn’t feel like I was left on a crazy cliffhanger. Check your trigger warnings because this is a dark romance and the smut is on the dark side. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️
This author never seizes to amaze me. Another amazing book. This book is told in multiple POV. I loved the spice level. This is about Ella and Micah whom are law enforcement tasked with brining down Snow White (Ember) a serial killer cleaning up the streets by killing drug dealers. Ember was my ultimate favorite she is like a robenhood with a dark twist. Overall, it is easy to follow and well written I highly recommend it.
SK Pryntz is a fresh of morally black (not grey) air! I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I could not stop reading it. I would read this until wee hours of the morning. Let’s get to it!
This is a story of two serial killers. They don’t kill for the same reasons though. Ember is the most badass FMC while also being a sasshole, witty, cunning and beautiful. She has skills that only her victims know. Her so called “victims” are not truly victims at all but the disgusting drug peddlers she takes out. She is a sort of twisted Robing Hood and never kills innocents. She has been named by the police as the Snow White killer due to the calling card she leaves on all her kills. She has caught the attention of someone who is wanting to take her out of the game. She doesn’t even know she has been stalked and watched for months and has been hunted for at least a year and he could never catch her.
Lucius has been sent to find the person responsible for killing his father’s men. He has been tasked to find this killer and end them. However when he finally catches sight of her he hates her immediately. He wants to play with her first. Mess with her until he kills her only to be sucked in by her beauty.
Ella is a criminal analyst for the police department and has been assigned to the Snow White cases along with her partner Micah Quinn. Along the way Ella’s sister Cassie ends up sticking her nose where it makes Cassie a target.
This story is twisted and turns you in a direction that you “think” is right, but BAM another puzzle piece is given and you have to rethink everything you think you know.
This is a must read book!!! 5⭐️ 5🌶️ 🔥check triggers warnings🔥 This is a book not for the faint of heart for sure
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover and found that SK exceeded expectations with this dark and gripping tale. With unexpected plot twists that left me on the edge of my seat, it is definitely a must-read for those who appreciate darker fictional works, albeit with trigger warnings in place. I simply could not put the book down until I had reached the end, where it became clear that every unalive had a purpose and was not simply a random occurrence. The main characters' energies and chemistry were well-matched, leading me to believe that there may be a sequel or even a series in the works, as I am eager to discover what happens next.
♥️Hunter/Prey ♥️Enemies to lovers ♥️Intense MMC ♥️Serial Unalivers
This book takes you on a RIDE!
There are many twists in this book and I’ll admit some of them too my by complete surprise! The FMC is fierce and all the main characters are INTENSE 😈
I loved the hate-to-want feel in this story and the way they both played off of eachother - their back and forth was so fun to watch and the plot kept me turning pages to see how it all played out.
Amazing debut book from this author, I can’t wait to see what she does next!
I really enjoyed this book about two serial unalivers. What I enjoyed most was that the FMC's energy totally matched the MMC's energy. She was snarky and didn't take his crap. The plot twist at the end made my jaw absolutely drop!!! The unalivings are not at random either, and I love the reasoning behind them. This is a darker book, so do read triggers before reading. For me , it was an enjoyable page turner. I am ready for more plot twists from this author.
This book was amazing! I started it at 11:30 at night and could not put it down! The plot is insane! The writing is absolutely amazing, the characters are to die for and the unexpected twists are so captivating! This is honestly one of the best books I have read. So obsessed. I would 100% recommend this book.

WOW! If you want a book that has you second guessing your predictions then this is the book for you!
**THERE IS A HUGE SPOILER IN THIS REVIEW SO IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT DO NOT CONTINUE READING. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.**
S.K. Pryntz left me in shock, I suspected it and even then I was not ready for it when it was revealed. I was second guessing myself at every turn.
Chapter 7
“At this moment, I was more like Cinder with no ‘Ella’ added.”
From the moment I realized this book had 3 POVs I was wondering why that was. I wondered what the cop had to do with Lucius and Ember’s story, why was Ella so important that she got her own POV? It wasn’t until chapter 7 that I started suspecting that Ember was indeed Ella. Just by that simple sentence ⬆️ the power of an over-thinker, am I right? Then as an over-thinker I started second guessing myself, thinking that there HAD to be another reason for the triple POV when there wasn’t one. I did love the fact that Lucius put his anger aside and helped his little shadow figure out what was happening, even if it broke her to know that she was the reason her sister was gone.
I couldn’t help but wonder tho; What did Quinn feel when Ella/Ember socked him to save Lucius? Does he honestly believe that Ella had committed suicide?
Can’t wait to find out.

This book was AMAZING!! Throughout this book nothing was random or a coincidence and watching it all click together at the end was jaw dropping! This book took so many twists and turns and OMG I was here for it!! The dynamic between the two main characters was amazing the FMC was so strong willed and snarky and didn’t let anyone push her about! Every unalive has a purpose and this plot is one that keeps you gripped throughout! If you like dark romance and serial killers this is definitely the book for you!
If I could give this book 10 stars I would!!!!! The spice, plot, twists, characters, literally everything about this book was just perfection. It wasn't just smut with unaliving, this book also made you actually think to try to figure what was going and then you don't even see the twist coming, it just smacks you in the face leaving you with your jaw on the floor staring at the floor asking yourself what the fck just happened?! Very few books make me want to read them again and this one makes me want to read it over and over again, I just couldn't get enough. This is now a one click author for me, if she writes it, I'm buying it, no questions asked.
I received this as an ARC read and was not disappointed. I’m giving this 4.5 ⭐️ This was a fairly dark book but it was so fun. So just check the trigger warnings before diving off into this one. Happy reading!
Loved it!! And that twist I never once picked up on at all!! Normally I’m pretty on top of things like that but damn! The overall plot was amazing and well worth the read and I can not wait to see more from her!!
Absolutely Hands down one of my TOP Reads for 2023! This book will leave you absolutely breathless and hungry for MORE! I can NOT recommend this book enough.
I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review 🫶🏻
This book really kept me guessing, at no point did I know what was going to happen next. The energy between the FMC and MMC is unmatched, crazy twin flames for sure. The end plot twist had my jaw dropping, I can’t wait to see how the rest of the series plays out!
This is a dark romance so please check trigger warnings before diving in!

Wow. This book was a ride. It took me some time to get used to the authors writing style and also took me a bit to understand what was going on with the different POvs but over all I enjoyed this story and looking forward to the next installment!
All I can say is oh my God, hold on tight with this one!! You have 2 storylines that are brought together in the end. Ella and Micah are law enforcement who are hunting down "Snow White" a serial killer who murders drug dealers.
Ember (Snow White) is a serial killer with a good heart believe it or not. She helps the homeless and takes care of drug dealers so more Innocent people don't die. Lucius' owns a the nightclub Black Mirrors, a cover for his shady dealings.
This is told in multiple POV and that PLOT TWIST at the end!! Did not see it coming and I can't wait for the next book in the series!! Bravo S.K. Pryntz!!

I absolutely loved this book! It got my mind turning trying to figure out what twist or story plot would happen next. I love how the characters developed, the conflicting emotions. The spice, the chemistry, the drama! The banter between the two main characters were filled with tension. The spice was on point and the twist was mind blowing. 10/10 would recommend
Holy hell I was not prepared for this book, which blew all the other dark romance authors I’ve read this year out of the water!
What doesn’t this book have? Spice, twists, incredible mmc and mfc....even the background characters have such wit and charm.
Note: this is a deep thinking book with multiple perspectives (pov’s) heavy on the plot, so if your looking for basic smut with zero plot this isn’t for you. YAWN. Who wants that anyway!
I’m shocked at options of the low ratings reviews on here. Half of them sound like they didn’t read more than 3 pages of this book. This is a 5 star book. But If I could give it 10 stars I would!
Rant over! :)
Read, read, read!!
Can’t wait to check out Twist Me by SK next! Please hurry and write it!
