Summary

Virelle has never seen color—until Miles.
Now he’s all she can see.
What begins as fascination twists into something deeper, darker… necessary. As Miles unravels from his abusive relationship, Virelle becomes his only sense of clarity, his only escape. But love was never part of the equation.
Only need. Only possession.
And when obstacles stand in her way, Virelle doesn’t hesitate to remove them.
Because some connections aren’t meant to be broken.
They’re meant to consume.

My Review

5/5 Stars

Virelle has a condition that stops her from seeing colors. That changes when she meets Miles. She quickly spirals into an obsessive longing, addicted to the sensations he unlocks in her brain. She’ll do anything to keep him in her life. Even murder.

Dark and edgy, this was an intense read that had me in a chokehold all the way through. I really felt for Miles and I did not see that ending coming!

I’m quickly realizing that I adore Vivian VanDam’s writing style. I could not put this one down. If you’re a fan of horror and toxic love, this is the book for you!
