Why we recommend it

Darkness has its own pull in this dark college bully romance where the kings of Blackwater rule through fear and fascination. Expect alluring, dangerous men, cruelty that hides obsession, and a heroine drawn deeper than she should be. The mood is shadowed and seductive, all menace and magnetism.
