“I want your sickness to meet mine, and whenever we get too tainted and Moros can’t handle us anymore, I want to die sick with you.”

Let me start off by saying that I am not a dark romance girly at all. I’ve tried and tried and while I do love some darker books and series, I tend to steer clear of the really triggering stuff. Not even because I have any triggers, but because there’s never enough groveling and restitution for everything that happened for me to enjoy the relationship. 

But when Queen Nordika releases a dark romance, I am absolutely reading it.

As usual, Nordika Night’s storytelling and characters completely won me over and stole my heart.

Firstly, the world-building in this book was amazing. I was so fully immersed in Moros, I feel like I’m a born and bred citizen of it. All the dynamics of Vile House and the Vile Boys were so beautifully presented and easy to follow. And while I love and adore our main characters, the side characters also added so much to the plot and just made the story even better.

Remiel and Krypt were fantastic MMC’s. I was absolutely obsessed with their dynamic, even at the very beginning. I love me a broken boy and NO ONE does broken boys better than Nordika Night. They both had me wrapped around their finger from the very beginning. And these are very multi-dimensional characters. Their backgrounds, their families, their fears and insecurities… all were staples of their complex personalities. And I just adored them as a kouple (with a K, for my baby Krypt). Their push and pull game kept me on my toes, and they were just so hot and fun together.

Then, the plot. The curse? The bargain? The setup of Vile House? The cults and the crimes and the experimental testing, and all the craziness and darkness that make up Moros? I don’t want to spoil anything, but there was just so much going on aside from the relationship that there was never a dull moment of reading.

I want to reiterate that this book is DARK. Pitch black dark. If you have any triggers at all, they are probably present in this book. Please read trigger warnings. I have no triggers and sometimes had to put the book down and read something lighter to balance things out. But then it got to the point I couldn’t put this book down anymore and was absolutely obsessed.

The way I need the next book, and literally the rest of the series right now. Ghost and Riot is going to be such a good book, I am so excited. I am already mapping out all the relationships I think we’re going to get, and I’m crossing my fingers for a possible MMM one! I am so sat for this entire series.
