"...there is music in madness, and madness in love" Lucian and Isadora a dark forbidden love story. This is an age gap the FMC is 19. This is a dark romance. It is not forever one, but it was definitely for me. We have a possessive MMC, with a dark flair to him and troubled past. The FMC is troubled as well. It reads like a 4 star, but I took a half star because, I felt like there was more to this story. Also so lose ends that were never resolved. But overall Ms. Keri Lake gave us drak and erie and tragic.
I Donât Care Iâm Giving It 5 Stars!!! I Absolutely Loved Reading This Book!!! Lucian Blackthorne Has My Heart. This Book Absolutely Mind F**cked Me But I Was More Intrigued Than Anything And Couldnât Put The Book Down!!!! Also I Knewww That Solange Wasnât A Hallucination!!!! I Knew Itttttt!!!!! Ughhh I Wish I Could Read It For The First Time Again
The book is long, and at some points really slow, but the ending really saved the overall story for me. I did not see the ending coming, and the revelations that happened, my jaw was on the ground.
The romance between the FMC & MMC was a little too hard and fast for my liking, but overall the tension and spice was ON POINT.

Something about men named Blackthorne, can't shake it off. Why are they such smooth talkers?
I wish I had a highlight quote to put at the top but the most I've highlighted are words Lucian told Isadora during sex so.... go read that on your own.
I went in blind into this book, it was selected from my random wheel but I didn't expect it to be good. It was grey leaning into dark but I think it had to be that grey for a reason. If it wasn't this book would not have made such an impression.
I loved the mystery and thriller aspect it had, it kept me reading and wanting to find out what happens next. The dual POV with the jump in timelines, usually I would have been annoyed by the jumps but in this book it was important to better understand Lucian.
I did not connect with Isa initially, I didn't know why she behaved the way she did because it felt like she was a little too naive on purpose but Lucian, I understood him from the first page. Maybe darkness goes along with darkness, but I understood every behaviour and action that Lucian showed. I would have been the same too.
But the connection both Lucian and Isa had is something that can't be ignored. It was an exciting and sensual connection to one another that was mostly built on lust but it was nice to read. Them hiding and making out in dark corners made me feel the same way too
