Restitution (The Edge of Darkness: Book 3) (The Edge of Darkness Trilogy)

By Leigh Rivers

THE WEAPON THEY CREATED WILL BE THEIR DESTRUCTION The line between sense and madness blurs as Kade seeks revenge on those who destroyed his life. They threatened his family, shattered his sanity, and then they stole his girl. He'll sacrifice everything to save them all, even if it means war. Stacey Rhodes has been to hell and back, and now she's trapped by the monster who stole Kade from her. But Stacey isn't backing down - she'll do anything it takes to save Kade, no matter the cost. Can she free them both from Bernadette's clutches before war consumes everyone they care about? As this is a dark romance, the author highly recommends reading the 'content warning' page.

I will be needing a contemporary romance to recover. This story was tragic, disturbing, beautiful, and heartbreaking. It’s officially one of my favorites. Please take your mental health into account prior to reading as the topics discussed are dark and graphic

REDEMPTION AT ITS FINEST. bernie and archie got what they deserved as did chris. i do think this book was drawn out way more than necessary. 500+ pages??😭 I fear i was not locked in fr. i love stacey and kade & how much love they have for one another. This book is insane with the plot twists and chain of events and it was intriguing, just long. Very long. I could’ve done with 3-5 less smutty scenes. It just got redundant and gruesome af to be honest. The ending is trashella but we vibe!!! I can say i’ve read dark romance and stuck out the entire series.

Great, albeit emotional heavy series. The characters, the relationships, the twists, all of it worked but definitely read the content warnings before diving it.

Kade is a great "morally grey" love interest. Complex, intense, and deeply flawed, but written in a way that still makes you understand and care about him. The relationships were a huge strength, and the emotional connections are what kept me going. I loved how Stacy grounded Kade, created boundaries and a safe space for someone who couldn't do that on his own. She felt very real.

The pacing dragged for me toward the end of Book 2 and into Book 3. Some of the tension and conflict felt a bit stretched out, like the story stalled in place without enough forward movement. But the emotional payoff at the end made it worth it. The HEA was probably one of the best that I've read. I also think the heavier content (there's a lot of it) was handled well. It felt respectful and intentional rather than gratuitous.

Overall, if your comfortable with dark romances, I definitely think this is one to read.
