#BookReview: Your Knife, My Heart (Dark Forces, #1) by K.M. Moronova

Book Cover
Synopsis: From NY Times and USA Today Bestselling author KM Moronova comes a brand-new compelling and addictive dark romance in her Dark Forces world.

Dark. Deadly. Irresistible.

Cameron Mortem has a problem―he can't stop killing his partners. Officially labeled clinically insane, he's also one of the most lethal assets in the Dark Forces, a brutal underground military operation built on obedience, survival, and silence. But an experimental drug has fractured his control, making him a liability whenever someone else is on the field. As punishment, he's thrown back into the Under Trials―a merciless boot camp designed to break the weak and sharpen the ruthless.

His one directive? Don't kill the new girl.

Emery Maves narrowly escapes a death sentence after her own brutal crimes, only to find herself forced into the same violent world. Assigned to Cameron, she's expected to survive the Trials and her partner's unstable nature. But Emery quickly realizes there's more to Cameron than bloodlust and body counts. Beneath the madness lies a terrifying allure―and a strange, dangerous tenderness.

As the Trials push them to their limits, Emery must navigate the brutal demands of the Dark Forces while resisting the pull of a man who could just as easily kill her as protect her. And Cameron must fight the one urge he's never been able to overcome.

Their bond is intoxicating, chaotic, and born of violence. And if it doesn't destroy them both, it might just save them.

My Review:

This was a DNF for me. I went into it expecting a dark romance, but this was far beyond what I personally enjoy. The amount of gore and extreme violence felt excessive, and at times it seemed like the story was trying to shock the reader with just how disturbing and unhinged it could get.

The storyline became increasingly chaotic and difficult to take seriously, and I never reached a point where I felt invested enough to continue. If you’re looking for an extremely dark romance with graphic violence, gore, and some seriously twisted content, this may be exactly what you're looking for. For me, it crossed way too many lines and ultimately wasn't a book I could finish.
