Damon Torrance is a character that I went from absolutely loathing to loving with all my heart over the course of three books. The author deserves some kind of award for the way she changed my mind about his character and the depth of which she made me feel for him.
I'm telling you guys! Penelope Douglas knocked it out of the park with this one! It was everything! I have no words to fully express how much I adore this book, these characters, and this series. I will be so sad to see it all end after Will's book. This series has become one of my favorites of all time and made Penelope Douglas one of my favorite authors. The story is intricately woven, unique, gripping, angsty, steamy, dark, and just all around amazing! The characters are complex, and the relationships between all of them are interesting, intense, and at times, super fucked up. I'm not just talking about the romances either. The friendships and family relationships are some of my favorite aspects of these books.
I read over 100 romance novels every year and love plenty of them, but I rarely add a book boyfriend to my fictional harem. Not only did I add Damon this year, but I shoved his ass way to the top with my man, Vicious. If you know me, you know just how significant that is. I can't get enough of his character, so fingers crossed, we get to see a lot more of him in the 4th book of the Devil's Night series.
In short, Kill Switch is a fucking masterpiece. It's the book that I enjoyed the most in 2019, and Damon has a permanent spot in my harem and my heart. If you like dark new adult romance, do not miss this series! It's an absolute must read!

I can tell that I'm going to adore this series already! My good friend, Karla, recommended it to me a while ago, but I haven't been able to squeeze it in until now. I'm so happy that I finally did, because I fucking loved it! I hope to come back with more of a review, but for now, I'll leave you with something short and sweet.
You is an incredibly well written story about a stalker/murder named Joe that is currently obsessing over a girl, Beck, he met in the bookstore where You is an incredibly well written story about a stalker/murder named Joe that is currently obsessing over a girl, Beck, he met in the bookstore where he works. I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would. It really makes you think and messes with your mind in amazing ways. Even though this a great story, it is disturbing, and some people may have trouble reading it because of that fact.
To everyone that knows him, Joe probably seems like a normal guy...smart, funny, charming, and sweet even. He is, in reality, a very sick and delusional man. We are aware of this fact the entire time, because the novel is written in second person from Joe's point of view. In my opinion, the author chose the perfect way to tell this story. Using this perspective and having the story told in this way is one of the main reasons this book works so well.
Reading this really made me think about all the ways that social media allows others to know things about us that they shouldn't be able to find out so easily, and how easy it is to open yourself up to someone like Joe, which made it much more creepy. I loved how this story made you wonder about those things, and that even though Joe is completely insane, he is actually the person you find yourself sympathizing with. I would be reading it and thinking that Beck treats him terribly, and then remember that he is a stalker! I couldn't believe that I was feeling sorry for Joe. It really bothered me at first. This was obviously done on purpose. The other characters are so nauseating that he is the easiest to connect with most of the time. I think it was brilliant to write the characters the way that Caroline Kepnes did. This is what messes with your mind. This is why I loved it.
You was near perfect in my opinion. I have never read anything like it. I think Caroline Kepnes may be one of my new favorite authors. I am so happy that there is another book and I will definitely be reading it!...more
