Camden
Weak. That’s all I’ve ever been to my father. Even after he abandoned me when I was thirteen, all I wanted was to prove him wrong. When I finally met her, the country’s top Forensic Psychiatrist, I became obsessed with her. I vowed to climb from rock bottom, forcing my way to the top–all the way to the BAU, all the way to her.
But when I’m forced to kill to protect her, the blood on my hands awakens something in me. Urges… The urge to kill for her, to see her eyes light up with pride–I would do anything for her… Anything.
Helena
Obsessed. Ever since I laid eyes on rookie Agent Camden Sullivan during my lecture at the FBI Academy on criminal profiling, I knew he would be mine. He was weak, broken, and oh so desperate for daddy's approval. The perfect victim to feed my appetite…
But seeing the hunger, the drive, in Camden’s eyes during a press conference on the television ignited a new urge inside me; He had to make it to me, to the BAU, and I would kill whoever I needed to for him to be assigned to my next case. I had to make it happen…at any cost.

Helena and Camden are not your typical dark romance FMC & MMC. They are both dark but different levels of darkness.
They are criminally insane but wear badges.
Like all dark romance readers, I love a strong, morally grey MMC, but Helena kicks a$$!
The chemistry between Camden and Helena was crazy. The things she does to him while he's unaware, are shockingly hot. When they finally give in to their attraction it is absolute explosive!
When Dr Helena and Camden aren't stealing moments together, they are working to catch a serial killer, The Butcher.
Filled with dark humour, twists & turns this book is a blast
Check the trigger and content warnings.
lt's seriously dark, twisted, messy, gory, and not for the faint of heart.

The blood. The guts. And the smut 👀Helena is a bad ass woman and Camden is definitely her golden retriever. This has all the makings of a crime thriller but wrapped in a smutty and psychological bow.
As a Criminal Minds and Hannibal fan, this book really hits all the marks you would expect it to and more. Helena's SUSHI?! love that. This was the first book I've read by Sarah Daniels and I really fell in love with her writing and I just really loved how the characters developed as the story progressed.
Ugh I really loved the twist at the end and all the crime terminology made me so happy (fun fact: I have a bachelor's degree in crime scene investigation!).
I really loved the neurodivergent representation with Camden and how Helena accepted him despite his "flaws" even though it really wasn't a flaw but more so a super power in a sense.
Definitely landed a spot of one of my favorite books of all time. Excited to see what Sarah has up her sleeve next!! 😍

Dark- check your TW!
Major TW!
Check out the trigger warnings before you read this book!
Camden is an FBI agent, and tries to hide his ADHD and other issues from everyone- except his all time crush, Helena, who sees it all.
Helena is a Forensic Psychiatrist, who has been infatuated with Camden ever since her lecture at his college. She is also hiding something from the world, and needs Camden to see her for who she truly is before she can let him in.
Camden and Helena are trying to find a serial killer.
The tension between these two is hot, hot, hot.
This story kept me on my toes and I was just waiting for the moment Camden and Helena finally got together.
This is not a traditional HEA, but it is wicked good!

I just…😮💨 So so many thoughts! First, this book is DARK. Not dark like “yeah I like dark romance, he spanked her once” dark. I mean DARK DARK. So I highly recommend really looking through the trigger list before diving in. If you are like me, have no triggers and… um… use trigger lists kinda as check lists, BUCKLE UP!
Do you like criminal minds? Do you like Dexter? Do you like silence of the lambs? Well, they all got together and had one hell of a dark, sexy, unexpected, and sensually disturbed baby in this book. Plus, imagine Dexter/hannibal is actually the sexiest, most brilliant minded FEMALE psychologist and criminal profiler ever. PICTURE IT!
You will question things about yourself. You will go, “AHH!!” at least once. And you will feel so many emotions at the end. Which emotions? …..kinda all of em.

This 👏🏻 book 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐄 … messy and exquisitely disturbing in only the way an extremely dark and twisted erotic horror can be.
Camden & Helena have two sides…one a renowned forensic psychiatrist with a hidden bloodlust for revenge, the other a rookie FBI Agent harboring a depraved past and the scars to prove it.
Camden straddling the edge of his morals…along with his waning sanity was a fresh take on the typical “morally grey” MMC seeing as he’s a federal employee and I ate it up (pun intended 😈).
Helena’s methods took a bit of figuring out and while I wouldn’t call it your average HEA…Devour was tied into a nearly neat bow…until that epilogue 😉
C & M were two of the most debauched MCs I can remember reading and I can’t wait for book 2!

I Devoured this book! I had the absolute pleasure of Alpha reading this! I adored Helena and Camden! If you love criminal minds/ Dexter/ Hannibal this is definitely a book you should read! The plot and twists are so good! The 🌶️ is 🔥🔥🔥and a little deranged and I loved every moment of it!

This book was incredible. It's very dark and twisted, so make sure you check the trigger warnings. I loved the characters so much. I need more!

Boy howdy was this book a super dark read! But I absolutely ate it up (sorry I couldn't help myself)!
Daniels did a wonderful job at creating compelling characters that I couldn't help but end up liking. Helena and Camden are a wonderfully unhinged couple and I loved the tension between them as the somewhat slow-burn...well smoldered. And when we got some spice, it was quite spicy.
The story itself was interesting and kept me guessing and curious about what would happen next. I loved the realistic details Daniels included throughout the book. I also really enjoyed Daniels' writing style, which was descriptive without being tedious. I felt that the pace of the book was good because there are moments of action sprinkled throughout, but it never felt unbalanced with quieter moments.
This book is quite graphic in a number of ways and if you're at all squeamish, I would not recommend this. Let's just say some characters have an appetite for forbidden meats...there weren't a lot of scenes that dealt with this, but there were a handful and I'm very grateful I wasn't eating while I read them.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and I plan to read all of Daniels' books. If you're cool with the triggers and a dark, heavy and graphic read, then I highly recommend this one!

OMFG!!! This story was incredible. It was dark, depraved, brutal, twisted, spicy and violently bloody. Everything I look forward to in a pitch-black story. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those that are going to get squeamish over some of the twisted and gory moments that happen in the story.
I was on the edge of my seat, biting my nails with anticipation of what the hell was going to happen next, and squirming with delight over what transpires right before my eyes.
Camden had my heart in a chokehold. He has a very unique and beautiful gift that he tries to hide so that he can be the best in his field without others looking down on him. He disassociates and loses big chunks of time, which could be his downfall. But I just wanted to reach in a give the poor guy a well-deserved hug.
Helena is a unique person. She’s brilliant, and utterly unhinged – which made me love her more! She sees what others don’t in Camden. She feels the darkness he’s trying to hide and knows just how to bring it out in him. But she also knows how to calm his racing mind and bring him back from the dissociative episodes that he continually has.
The banter and interactions between Helena and Camden was EVERYTHING!! It was filled with an insane sexual tension that utterly drew me in and had me begging for more.
The steamy moments between these two were kinky, smutty and highly erotic. Helena had me craving her sweet talk and I would definitely get on my knees for her!
This story was so freaking good. There were little plot twists that kept me in suspense the whole way through. And there were many WTF moments that had me screaming, but there were some sweet moments that I loved too! And that ending - WOW! It wasn’t what I was expecting but it utterly blew me away!

I devoured this book! (Pun intended, sort of). Sarah Daniels is the queen of dark romance books and I’m here for all of it. The characters in Devour are addictive and keep you wanting more, you’ll basically be calling them some of your favorite characters towards the end of the book. One thing I find myself always writing in reviews for Sarah’s books is that they always keep me on the edge of my seat and they always have me wanting more. Also it gave off Criminal Minds vibes and I want more.
If you consider reading this book definitely check the TW because this book won’t be for everyone.

About the book :
Camden
Weak. That's all I've ever been to my father. Even after he abandoned me when I was thirteen, all I wanted was to prove him wrong. When I finally met her, the country's top Forensic Psychiatrist, I knew I finally found someone who understood, someone who would appreciate my skills. I became obsessed with her. I vowed to climb from rock bottom to the top-all the way to the BAU, all the way to her.
But when I'm forced to kill to protect her, the blood on my hands awakens something in me.
The urge-the urge to kill for her, to see her eyes light up with pride. I would do anything for her, but will my empathy stand in the way of what I truly want?
Helena
Obsessed. Ever since I laid eyes on rookie Agent Camden Sullivan during my lecture at the FBI Academy on criminal profiling, I knew he would be mine. He was weak, broken, and oh so desperate for daddy's approval--the perfect victim to feed my appetite.
But seeing the hunger, the drive, in Camden's eyes as he used his special skills during a case we worked on together, ignited a new urge inside me: to protect him and his empathic skills. He had to make it to me, to the BAU, and I would kill whomever I needed to for him to be assigned to my next case. I had to make it happen at any cost.

quick snapshot: devour is a VERY dark & twisted horror/thriller standalone with a dark romance twist, inspired by criminal minds, dexter, & silence of the lambs. PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!!! this is not for the feint of heart (pun intended?)
spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
i was given the amazing opportunity to be an ARC reader for this little treat of a book, and WHEW. i hope y’all are ready for the chaos that ensues. this is as spoiler free as i could get, nothing explicit is mentioned!
(this is also my first time being an ARC reader, so please handle with care 🫠)
okay, look….the amount of kicking my feet & giggling that happened while i read this was unexpected. for my first dive into a horror/thriller book, i was pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed it.
i absolutely adored this way more than i should have for how wild of a ride it was. from the first meeting of our MMC Camden, i was hooked. poor little ADHD baby with a sprinkle of the tism was way too relatable (without all the dark, twisted thoughts of course). learning about him & his past throughout the story had me wanting to give him so much love.
and Helena…..WHEW 😮💨 i didn’t realize how much i needed a morally gray, certifiably insane FMC in my life but she ticked off all the boxes. i can see why Cam was obsessed with her! and her conversations/banter with her inner darkness were some of my favorite parts of the whole book.
the chemistry between these two was clear from the beginning, and that ending….LORD HAVE MERCY i was NOT expecting that. the pacing throughout led to a very fun, action packed, and intense final act that led to the very bloody finale that literally had me blinking into oblivion for a solid ten minutes after i turned my kindle off.
overall, i’m so glad this was my first dive into a new genre for me. i would absolutely rec this as long as you keep in mind the TW’s, and i absolutely cannot wait to see what twisted fantasy sarah comes up with next!!

"The mind is a powerful thing; it has the power to uncover the truths that the naked eye can't see."
*3.5 stars*
Such a different read than I expected, intriguing, twisted and very confusing - really felt like I was in Camden's mind quite a lot.
Also, I loved Helena's morally grey self, her darkness and her obsession.
Genre: Horror romance
Tropes: Age gap (she's older), forensic psychiatrist FMC x FBI rookie MMC, obsession, Silence of the Lambs x Dexter x Criminal Minds vibes, moral struggle, knife & blood play.
Trigger warnings: Yes!
"I used to use pain to help me feel like I had both feet on the ground. But now... now I don't feel a damn thing."
ARC review:
I didn't really know what to expect from this book, but I was instantly hooked - a morally grey (almost black) FMC that also had a strong sense of right and wrong mixed with a sweet and kind MMC with a traumatic past.
She touched my Camden. He is mine. MINE. No one fucking touches what's mine.
The vibes and aesthetic of the story was both mysterious and suspense-full and I was quite confused at times, which just added to the mystery and sort of wtf-moments I had. I'm very impressed with the writing and storytelling and how the author fitted all the pieces together.
Also, both main characters were complex and interesting, and though they were clear opposites their souls recognized each other and even with the instant attraction and sizzling chemistry it was still a bit of a slow burn (in a way) which gave them time to really get to know each other. Though with the strong obsession it wasn't that important… I loved the neurodivergent rep with Camden even if it added to the confusion, I just felt with him and his struggles and found it quite realistic and relatable.
"Good, pet. Now, let me see you spit on your cock for me, Camden. Spit on it like a good fucking boy. Then, I want to see you continue to stroke your perfect cock for me."
The plot itself was solid, the characters were well-developed, the pacing was also great and the spice was wonderfully balanced, but something about the book just wasn't for me, maybe due to the confusion which made me feel a bit disconnected.
I was entertained, but that ending - seriously… It had me yelling out loud, but also I kind of knew it would happen.

Also, both main characters were complex and interesting, and though they were clear opposites their souls recognized each other and even with the instant attraction and sizzling chemistry it was still a bit of a slow burn (in a way) which gave them time to really get to know each other. Though with the strong obsession it wasn't that important… I loved the neurodivergent rep with Camden even if it added to the confusion, I just felt with him and his struggles and found it quite realistic and relatable.
"Good, pet. Now, let me see you spit on your cock for me, Camden. Spit on it like a good fucking boy. Then, I want to see you continue to stroke your perfect cock for me."
The plot itself was solid, the characters were well-developed, the pacing was also great and the spice was wonderfully balanced, but something about the book just wasn't for me, maybe due to the confusion which made me feel a bit disconnected.
I was entertained, but that ending - seriously… It had me yelling out loud, but also I kind of knew it would happen.

A dark romance with a criminal minds twist!
Camden is a new FBI agent with his sights set on joining the BAU. He is naturally empathetic which not only makes him extremely good at his job but very valuable to his bosses. He has ADHD which is so good to see portrayed like that in such a high-profile job role.
Helena is a forensic psychiatrist who is also an expert surgeon, she is the best in her field and regularly helps the FBI. It is thro9ugh giving a lecture on one of her books at the training academy that she first meets Camden and is immediately taken by him, noticing his unique gifts.
When they eventually work a case together trying to hunt down a serial killer their attraction and feelings for each develop really quickly. Although Helena’s original motive and methods to get close to Camden are very questionable. Some of the things she did seemed a bit confusing, and did feel bad for Camden with some of the things she did. By the end of the book she has realised her true feelings and you do feel that she does feel guilty for the route she took to get there.
There is not a lot of spice in the book focusing more on the plot, but when it does happen it is heated between them. Nice change in dynamic with Helena being the older in the relationship and tending to take charge of the encounters.
It was Camden that is the pull in the story for me and his character journey to coping and accepting his gift and not hiding who he really is. There are plenty of twists you don’t see coming, which all come to a head in the final few chapters.
The book is dual POV which I really enjoyed, however there were occasions where there was some overlap from both characters. But other than that, I did enjoy getting to read the same scene from the different perspective.
Looking forward to the next book in the twisted metamorphosis series.

Devour
4 ⭐ / 3🔥🌶
This was my first @author.sarah.daniels book. I never considered myself a dark romance reader until I read something similar a few months back and found my way to Sarah. When I got the blurb about Devour I knew I had to read it. I am a huge Criminal Minds/ FBI etc fan. Add in the Silence of the lambs vibe and it was everything.
The chemistry between Helena and Camden from the start screams OBSESSION! And I am here for it. The entire time I was reading this book I kept picturing a twisted version of Spencer Reed and then a dark twisted version of Dr. Bones. Sarah’s ability to make every moment Camden felt give us an exact picture speaks volumes to her writing abilities. I felt like I was at every crime scene vividly and that I could feel / see the spicy scenes (either of his imagination or real) as well. The way the book loops full circle to the big reveal/ plot twist was fantastic. And although Sarah warned us in the Triggers regarding this not having a Traditional Happy Ending I still did not see the ending coming the way that it did, however it was a better ending than the one I was picturing so amazingly done!!!! I can’t wait to try and get my hands on Sarah’s next book in the series.
I recommend this book to dark romance lovers, and those that like shows like Criminal Minds etc, however, please be aware of the triggers. Without giving too much away the ones I consider Important to know are as follows: cannibalism, knife and blood play, necrophiliac, drug induced mental states and mental health issues.
Thank you @author.sarah.daniels for the ARC and I cannot wait for your next!

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶 out of 5
Tropes:
☠️FMC Serial Unaliver/FBI Agent
🔪Touch Him and D1e
🐶Golden Retriever MMC
🍽Cannibalism
💝ADHD Rep
⚠️Check TW's⚠️
Review:
It's an enticing hook...a female serial unaliver of evil doers (Helena), disposes of them by night but by day works with the FBI as a profiler of sorts. She teams up with a younger but very bright Camden, who is preternaturally empathic, making him a wunderkind at the bureau. Helena takes to him and sees that he may have a similar dakness to her own and she wants to cultivate it.
I was very much taken by sweet Camden. He has a crush on Helena but also highly respects her professional knowledge and they form a sizzling comradery as Helena pushes his buttons, taking pride in watching him work on cases that are her own victims!
Camden's skills are pretty much exactly like Will Graham's from Red Dragon/the Hannibal series. He's got ADHD as well, and I appreciated the care and POV into his mindstate and how he sees the world.
Towards the latter 1/3 though, I didn't quite believe the flip from his more clean cut and wholesome personality into a dark one so akin to Helena. The mystery serum she used on him to flip his darkness on also confused me, how he seems so lucid at times with it and when he fades away seem inconsistent. It felt a bit forced by the final act and I don't feel he'd have relinquished his personality so fully and completely.
For most of the book though it's because of Camden that I kept reading...his sweetness, his desire to do good, his tormented past (which I wish she saw more of), his confusion on his feelings towards Helena and handling his abilities.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
This book is DARK in caps. Please read Trigger Warnings before reading. Just please.
What the actual heck!! I mean Really?? What was that ending @sarah daniels
You left me in complete shock. It was totally unexpected and unbelievable, and I can't believe that the ending is true. I have a theory, but I won't tell because it'll be considered a spoiler.
But honestly, I loved the book. The beginning was great, and the first meeting of Helena and Camden turned out to be pretty interesting 👀. "I see you, Camden. All of you."
and how she sees all of this because she is his Stalker🫠. A fictional Female stalker; usually we read about stalker MMC but here it's the opposite. The middle part and ending were also great. Actually, the whole book was amazing. I had a great time reading it, and when I actually got to know about the Norfolk killer...I gasped for real.
The writing was good. The book was written in both POVs, making it easy to understand and feel the emotions of both characters.
Both Helena and Camden give dark and twisted vibes on different levels. Helena is a FMC who will kill you brutally if you touch Camden, and it goes both ways. Both are Touch Him/Her and 💀characters.
They are crazy, especially Helena and it's the only word I can associate with her, but crazy in a positive way, and as for Camden, he hasn't reached Helena's level of crazy yet. I'm sitting here to explore more of them, maybe in the next book.
I'll just say that if you can handle TWs, then definitely dive for it. Run and grab your copy and read it. You won't regret it.

Big thank you to Sarah for the opportunity to read and review!
“𝕴’𝖒 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖛𝖎𝖓𝖌, 𝕯𝖔𝖈𝖙𝖔𝖗.”
“𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖕𝖔𝖔𝖗, 𝖍𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖗𝖞 𝖇𝖔𝖞. 𝕾𝖔 𝖉𝖊𝖘𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖊 𝖙𝖔 𝖇𝖊 𝖘𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖉.”
Camden is an extremely talented, rookie FBI agent with a specialty that allows him to see into crime scenes. Finally meeting her, he becomes smitten with Helena, a highly respected Forensic Psychiatrist. Helena knows Camden plays a larger role in her life than he’s aware of. Eyes on the prize, Camden climbs his way to the BAU and is able to work with Helena on a brutal string of murders that have been occurring. But as Camden’s obsession to crack the case collides with his infatuation with Helena, he is thrust into his own darkness. And Helena, with her own secrets and pastimes, is in charge of the light switch.

These two were everything. Camden killed me with his past and his current struggles, and Helena was everything I want in a darkly-coded FMC. She was an absolute menace, and I couldn’t stop eating them up. I loved how this story unfolded. Helena’s brutality, the twists, the ending? Loved it. Absolutely devoured, though, I will probably no longer accept meaty meals from anyone after this.
“𝕺𝖕𝖊𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖉𝖔𝖔𝖗, 𝕮𝖆𝖒𝖉𝖊𝖓. 𝕵𝖔𝖎𝖓 𝖒𝖊 𝖎𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖉𝖆𝖗𝖐.”
If you’re a fan of dark romance, something that makes you question morals, has a little bit of cannibalism and a lot of murder, maybe a mutual flesh nomming scene, a man that may or may not whimper and call you ‘doctor’, and an appetizing psychologically thrilling aspect, pick this up.

🖤 "To all those craving a morally gray woman, I got you. Hope you brought your appetite." -- dedication to DEVOUR 🖤
In DEVOUR, a brilliant older woman who's both a forensic psychiatrist and pathologist consulting with the FBI and a brilliant new FBI recruit whose empathic ability goes way beyond the norm begin working together on a horrific serial killer case. Camden has been in awe of Dr. Helena Lawson and her work since even before his time in the FBI Academy, and the time he met her after a lecture just before graduation has stuck with him even a year later. So when he gets to team up with her on this serial killer hunt, he's euphoric. And Helena? Well, Helena is, perhaps, a wee bit....obsessed, you could say, with the first-year FBI agent. She takes him under her wing and endeavors to bring out the best -- at least, the darkest -- in him.
Whew, child, this book was a wild ride! I knew the second I saw @author.sarah.daniels announce she was looking for ARC readers for her latest, a deep dark romance called DEVOUR, that I had to take part if she'd have me 😍 And holy cow!! It's giving SILENCE OF THE LAMBS meets dark romance and I was hooked from the first page. And I admit I'm still stunned by that ending 🤯

DEVOUR
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
“The amygdala of a man is slightly larger than a woman’s, and oh so much sweeter when overcome with fear. It’s a lengthy process to get to the little peanut shaped delicacies, but worth it.”
“Don’t get lost in your mind; stay with me.”
“But I wanted this woman to consume me whole. I didn’t care about the consequences, the job, the investigations. I just wanted her.”
“His darkness and mine danced together around us, and I knew in this moment that we were one.”
A female Hannibal? Say no more.
This was a dark, fun, sexy thriller read that i easily devoured (pun intended)
Helena is a highly respected board certified psychiatrist and forensic pathologist who works with the FBI. She’s sophisticated, intelligent and has a thing for human meat🤭
Camden is a promising new recruit with ADHD who gets to work on a case with Helena, the doctor he admires and who he has had his eyes and mind on for a while.
There’s mutual obsession in this story and lots of tension in this professional work setting. Lines get real blurry, things get messy and bloody as this investigation takes you down a interesting and twisty road.
If youre a fan of criminal shows like Dexter, Silence of the Lambs and Criminal Minds… then check this one out!

But as Camden's hunger for approval and Helena's appetite for control collide, their journey becomes a perilous dance of death and desire.
But Helena isn't all sunshine and roses. She's kind of messed up and sees Camden as her little plaything. Yikes! Their whole relationship is a crazy game of power and messed-up feelings that could explode any minute.
If you love dark thrillers with a creepy romance twist, this book is right up your alley. It'll keep you guessing until the very end! Give it a try if you want a wild ride! 📚💀❤️

🩸🍴🩸🍴🩸🍴 because some characters have a strange appetite
When I heard about Devour I was so excited to read it and then it came and it didn’t disappoint but I wouldn’t read it while eating or after just eating because well some characters have a appetite for “forbidden meat” and when I say “forbidden meat” I don’t mean we don’t know what it is but I personally wouldn’t eat that kind of meat but hey to each there own. We are introduced to Camden and Helena and each one of them has a infatuation with the other character and when they come together they have crazy kind of chemistry but they also make great at getting a serial killer. Both of these characters have their own struggles but in some way they’re able to help the other. With Camden he has always wanted his fathers approval and Helena well she has an interesting appetite and has a deep dark secret. Yes this book is dark and graphic but it actually is a really good worth taking the time to read especially if your a fan of Dexter, Criminal Minds or Silence of The Lambs this is your book.

Biggest takeaway is that this is an incredibly enjoyable, but dark, read. Mind the trigger warnings and you'll likely come away having had a really good time.
The main characters have excellent chemistry and their scenes together, both of the spicy variety and the more mundane, are wonderful. I love that Helena is the morally gray one of the two.
My only real irk with the book is that at times, the description of Camden's ADHD and how his brain worked were a bit over the top. Having ADHD myself, it reminded me a bit of many conversations that I have had with neurotypical friends trying to justify why I am the way I am. This is by no means a negative thing. The author explained things clearly and well. For me, personally, it was a bit too at the forefront early on. I absolutely suggest you not let this be the reason you don't try this book. This will not be true for everyone.
I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this for review. My opinion is my own.

THIS BOOK…
THIS BOOK…
This book is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I devoured it! And came back for seconds and thirds. I couldn’t get enough. The ending…oh my god!!! I LOVE it 🖤 (Hurry up and read this book so we can discuss.)
What made it so incredible and why did I love it so much??? Well, let me tell you. It was………
Honestly, it was everything; I can’t just pick one or two things. I also don’t want to spoil anything because there were several moments that left me 😬😯😳😱🤯
Separately Helena and Camden are both deep characters with different levels of darkness. Together they are insane. I love a strong morally grey MMC but Helena kicks them all to the curb. She had me falling to my knees saying “yes, Doctor” so fast.
The tension and chemistry between Camden and Helena was crazy. When they finally give in 🔥🥵🫠 You are in for a treat 😉
If Helena and Camden aren’t stealing moments together, they are working to catch a serial killer. And ohhh man,the plot twists 🫢 ..I might have already said too much 🤐
Check the trigger and content warnings. It’s dark, twisted, messy, gory, and not for the faint of heart. If you snack while reading, choose your snack wisely.
I also have to touch on the humor in this book. I have a very dark sense of humor. At times I think it toes the line of slightly depraved. That’s probably why I laughed hysterically throughout this book. I know it’s wrong but it was still so darn funny 🤭😂
Now if you’d excuse me, I’m in the mood for some leftovers. (Calm down - I’m just going to reread it, again) 😆🤣😂

This book was a phenomenal ride! It’s very dark so please read TWs and take them seriously as a lot of messed up stuff happens in this book. That being said I absolutely loved it, suppose that says more about me 😂. This book had a very criminal minds feel to it and I am totally here for it. Camden is a complex MMC whose mind is both his greatest gift and its own worse enemy. Helena has her own brand of darkness that she deals with but she can’t just help herself when it comes to Camden. When their darkness comes together it’s definitely explosive. The story is complex and gripping and you can’t help but want to keep reading to see what happens next. The sexual tension between them is pulled tighter than an elastic band at breaking point and when it does snap my goodness is it hot and steamy. The ending leaves you with a lot more questions than answers and I really am looking forward to the next book in the series.

This was definitely a dark read. Horror/Thriller romance. It gave criminal minds mixed with Dexter and honestly it was completely F’d up and twisted and I LOVED IT.
It was a quick read too even though it took me several days to finish but that was a me problem fr not the book. This book could easily be read in one sitting.
It’s first person dual POV that will have you saying “the f*ck?!” to yourself several times and the end will have you screaming it.
Sarah doesn’t miss ok. If you like reading messed up stuff then go read it because it’s out on the 27th. 💋

Please for the love of god check Trigger Warnings for this one because WOW that was something different 😂
If you can still eat Sushi after reading this, you're a psychopath & ya can't change my mind 😂
Helena isn't like any FMCs I've ever read about before, she's completely unhinged & will not let any women touch Camden. I honestly didn't want to like her as much as I did just because she made me gag thru like most of this book, but she's bad ass and didn't give two fucks about her actions and that made me love her 🖤😂
Camden... Oh Camden... He was obsessed the moment he seen Helena but he was too anxious to act on it. Poor guy but luckily Helena was a bad bitch & took matters into her own hands😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

June 27, 2024I was very lucky to get an arc for this copy in exchange for an honest review and let me tell you... this book is WILD🤭
I've had the honor to get to know Sarah through the past couple of months and I know how much work she's put in this book and it shows.
I adored everything about it, it is UNHINGED, it is insane, it is beautiful in some ways; it had me questioning my morals but not ONCE was I ever bored and I think that is props for Sarah's writing. She kept me hooked the entire way through and at the end, I wanted MORE, I needed MORE and I just loved every second of it.
If you're interested in picking up this book, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Check trigger warnings; while I did absolutely adore every second of it; it is a very unhinged book and it won't be for everyone.
Happy release day again Sarah and happy release date to this wonderful book
*Graphic release date celebration coming soon*

Wow! That was something!
Theres an FBI Agent, world renowned Forensic Psychiatrist, reverse age gap, obsession, in the hunt, darkness, cuisine (à la Hannibal Lecter!), mental health rep, vigilante, medicinal cocktails, touch him/her & Vera, the hot mustang!
Camden and Helena are unique, each in their own way. The hunt for a k!ller is our plot but so much more evolves along the way. Cam’s gift of delving into minds earns him an impressive success rate in case solving, then he is paired with the woman he’s obsessed over for years. She intern may be into a little light stalking and other… extracurricular activities.
This was an interesting read. Lots of tension with a bit of a slow burn and some fantasy day dreams added into the mix! I would say this is a little different from some of the previous reads by Sarah Daniels but equally well written and cleverly done with the way the plot falls.
