This kind of felt like Batman fanfiction. A dark broody man trying to avenge his dead parents. I've been told the series gets better as it goes, but I found this book a little too long and questionably written. I also wish there was a bit more spice. I won't take any shots at the "dark romance" side, because I understand the men are supposed to be toxic. That being said some of the toxic dialogue was so over the top that it became a bit funny. I might revisit the series later, but for right now I'm going to put a pin in it.
