Introduction:
“I’ve done far worse than what I went to prison for. She has no idea how bad this can get.”
WINTER
Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I’d have time to disappear before he got out or he’d cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was.
But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he’s anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan.
And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn’t expect this.
He doesn’t want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.
DAMON
First thing’s first. Get rid of her daddy. He told them I forced her. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did.
Step two… Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor.
But that’s not what’s coming.
No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all–my family, her family, my friends–that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives.
Starting with her.
She’ll be so scared, she won’t even be safe in her own head by the time I’m done with her. And the best part is I won’t have to break into her home to do it.
As the new man of the house I have all the keys.
*Kill Switch is a romantic suspense suitable for readers 18+. It is advised to read Corrupt (Devil’s Night #1) and Hideaway (Devil’s Night #2) prior to reading this book. Both are available on Kindle Unlimited.

So, I just spent two glorious, albeit chaotic, months in France. The airline decided to play hide and seek with my luggage, which meant I got the unique yet miserable opportunity to raid our dear Nethra’s stash of smutty/dark romance novels that she oh-so-thoughtfully crammed into her suitcase. Not a single book of my own in sight! But hey, enough of my griping, let’s dive into the review of Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas.
One thing’s for sure. After finishing Kill Switch, my appreciation and respect for my husband have skyrocketed. Seriously, where do I even start with this book? I haven’t read the first two in the series, and thank goodness for that because this one was plenty for me. Everything about it was just so twisted. I couldn’t connect emotionally with either Damon or Winter, even though Winter’s blindness should have tugged at my heartstrings. In any other situation, I probably would have felt some empathy, but not this time.
I get that Penelope was trying to portray Winter as a strong female character despite her blindness, but honestly, she came across as a whiny little brat who had never been told no. There was no depth to her character at all. And Damon… oh gods, that man was broken beyond repair. There were moments of fleeting hope for his character throughout the book, but his sadism overshadowed any glimpse of goodness in him.
I finally put the book down for good at about 60% because it was just too depressing. Definitely not my cup of tea!
