Call me shallow, but I could not say no to this book cover. 
 Vicious. They are some people who are so dark inside, that sometimes you feel that they absorb all the light when they enter the room. Like black holes. They transform everything warm and sunny into something that resembles their misery. 
 Our main male character is like that. He has been torturing the love of his life, his favorite woman, his obsession and his savior since they were in high school. 
 Until the very end, I was not sure whether Vicious is truly in love with Emilia or if he is simply a sociopath unable of feeling love. He is definitely obsessed with Emilia, so obsessed that he has made the purpose of his life to torture and to fuck her if he wishes. Because she is his. Since they day they met outside of the library of his home. 
 Everything on him screams that he is a mental case. If someone is capable of killing, burning down, lie to his "best" friend and blackmail the woman he loves for selfish reasons, torturing the woman he loves because he is so fucked up, not being able to sleep, hate the guts of his father and waits patiently (not showing anything) until before he dies to tell him, then he is definitely a mental case. 
 Well, enough is enough! Emilia may be too good to be true, but she is stronger than she looks. The groveling in the end satisfied me somehow, but I still think Vicious is dangerous and he can flip out any time. 
 Anyway, this is not your normal love story. It is not exactly also a story of enemies becoming lovers. The enemies were not enemies in the first place. Neither of them hated each other. They just did not know how to act around each other. 
 The end of the book is satisfying for both of the main characters. 
 For the reader, it is a strong ending. 
 The story will stay with you and you will think about it for days after you finish the book.
