Kill Switch (Devil's Night, #3)

[whisperingchapters]

I knew I was fucked up. I just didn't care. As long as I was happy, I didn't explain myself to anyone.

I've been waiting for Damon's story since I met him in Corrupt. His character was full of darkness from the get-go and I knew I needed to jump into his life, to find out more about what makes him, well, him.

"Because pain in the body quiets the pain in the head. It feels good, like a kill switch for your brain."

Even though I knew his life wasn't pretty nor his attitude, I had no idea just how deep his darkness ran, how twisted he truly was. Surprisingly, I found myself completely drawn to that darkness, like a moth drawn to a flame.

Damon was clever, diabolical, and patient. All of the things I wasn't.

I was kind of disappointed in Winter. I expected her character to keep up with Damon more, to put him in his place. While she enjoyed the thrill and most of what Damon brought to the table, when it mattered, she wouldn't stand up to him. I wanted someone that would have knocked Damon down a peg or two. Also, at times I felt like there was no real chemistry between them. The story mostly focused on Damon wanting revenge on Winter and it didn't give the reader much of their relationship or their feelings for one another. Still, I enjoyed both of them together.

"It is an art how quickly you can make everyone want to kill you."

Something I truly loved was seeing how Damon really is loyal to what he considers his, like his friends and Winter. I especially loved the moments when Damon and Rika would be together. Even though he tormented her in Corrupt, in Kill Switch, it shows just how much respect he has for her, and love, in his own way.

I got the impression from his friends that he was possessive with more than just me. If he found something good, he fought to keep it. It could be a scary thing. But it also meant he knew what was important. He worked to keep what he valued.

There were things in the story that I just had no idea what to think. Certain scenes put me off completely, yet others had me wanting more, more, more! I didn't want to stop reading, especially after all the major bombs that were dropped in his story! This book showed me just how twisted my mind is because I kept craving all of the darkness the story had.

I hated him. He was everything bad that happened to me. But he was the only time--other than dancing--that I felt alive, too. Being with him was like dancing. Dancing with death.
