    This is undeniably my favorite book of all time
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017*

This is undeniably my favorite book of all time. I view it as a masterpiece to be completely honest.The author has certainly made her readers aware most of the issues that are not usually given much importance.*SPOILERS*a. Sexual abuse on males is also present in the society and it impacts them as much as sexual abuse on women (this is usually not depicted in other stories or most assume that when they say sexual abuse it's automatically on women)b. Being strong doesn't necessarily mean being opinionated, aggressive and tough on the outside. Being strong, as shown by Daniella can mean being able to endure pain, torture, violence and trying to keep yourself together despite everything. She was viewed as someone who was weak then became strong, but in my opinion, she was strong then and now she's just showing it to everyone that she is and is willing to do everything to eliminate the existing and possible monsters in the city.c. It's very, very easy to voice out you love someone but find it hell of difficult to show it. Well, Dante & Daniella certainly showed in a whole, twisted level on how much they love each other WITHOUT saying it. It was heavily shown how much hell they would go through for the other, for their sake and that alone shows so much the depth of their love for each other and I loved it.d. Dante and Daniella are such twisted characters because of what they have been through, they have been so wrapped up in their respective pain that they don't know or are in denial on a lot of things, their approach in every situation and their point of view is very interesting, once you connect with the characters you would be able to pinpoint how they will react given a situation. Especially Dante, who says one thing but does the other. The switch in POVs really made me understand what are the reasons of the characters for their actions and for what they say.e. Connecting with the characters is so easy as the author described everything so perfectly, I could feel what Daniella and Dante were feeling given a moment, most specifically Daniella, I can feel her pain, her anger, her despair, the grief, her lust, her doubts, everything.f. Sometimes, the villain cannot be saved or reformed. It's the truth though,that villains cannot be redeemed most of the time. They may have reasons on why they became the person they are but it does not mean they will change and be good, there are monsters who no matter what you do are too enveloped on their own darkness that they cannot be saved and are just left to burn, literally.g.. So damn realistic. Crescendo showed how several issues can affect a person, it doesn't mean that when the villain is long gone that the heroes are happy, peaceful and living a comfortable life. The author showed that SCARS are present and they bring forth memories, TRAUMA, fear that cannot be slept of overnight and would continue to haunt them no matter how much they try to forget and this trauma, this pain, is what they use to fuel the anger that they feel and try to keep themselves sane by trying to erase the reminders of their demons at the expense of their sanity. This is the difference between Daniella and Ksenia, but the latter is for BM book 2 :)Crescendo, is a very dark, addictive and matured story who doesn't shy away on sensitive issues and would definitely bring out a lot of emotions from you, A LOT OF IT. I have read this more than 8 times already and I haven't had enough of it. I would recommend this to everyone, but prepare yourself, you're in for hell of a ride and you'd get addicted to this series.For me, the song that perfectly fits DxD is Beautiful Pain by Eminem and Sia.Anxiously waiting for the paperback, an ebook is not enough.

    Heavy on the Violence, Light on the Romance
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019*

This was so not the book I was expecting, or like anything I've read before. The description falls under Dark Romance, but it didn't feel like that at all. This book is BRUTAL to read from the start, and it never really stops. Be warned, its a book about terrible, violent people, and the terrible, violent things they do. Triggers warnings should probably be given.It's not what I'm used to, so I admit that I was pretty thrown by the all the animosity between our 2 main characters. They HATE one another, and always seem to be thinking about killing the other, and yet they are unquestionably addicted to each other. The heroine is someone who's trying to escape years of abuse from her ex. The abuse she suffers is not magically ended in the least when she gets mixed up with the Hero and his dangerous crowd. She suffers at their hands, and she continues to suffer emotionally from everything her ex put her through. That she keeps asking herself which of the men is worse than the other ought to tell you just how broken these people are, and that there are basically no heros or happy endings here. The Hero has his own horrible violent past that has made him the violent, soulless person he is now. Personally, I didn't understand how with everything he went through, how he could be so callous towards her, but I guess thats where the "soulless" part comes in.I kept asking myself where is the romance?! But this is by no means a romantic book. Even the sex was very rough, not what I have come to expect from a "romance". Nope, no love-making here, ever. So if that is what you're looking for, steer oh so clear from this one.It took me awhile to accept that this is who these characters are. But once I did, I went along for the rollercoaster ride. I was completely swept away and invested. The author's writing style was so intense and felt so real. These are broken people who won't be easily fixed. I will definitely look for more books by this author because of how enthralled I was with her writing. First I need to let this story settle in on me. Normally I delve into my next new book immediately, but this one I can't get off my mind and I need time to process it. If you can handle loads of violence and even more dark, twisted thoughts, and if you're more interested in the journey than getting a neatly wrapped HEA, then I highly recommend this!

    Very Dark
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022*

I was expecting dark, but this went beyond my expectations. This is very well written, and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. I only gave four stars because of how far these scenes went. I just can't wrap my mind around any strong, smart woman enjoying the degrading pain she craved, and I wasn't a fan of the abuse the lead constantly went through. She got slapped by way too many men, and at some point it's just enough already.  We get it.  The cutting was also pretty nauseating. I feel like when the lead gets to a certain point of mentally damaged as she did, it's hard to still follow their journey.  Had this author not been such a terrific writer I would have stopped reading based on that. I hope the sequel has less mental ramblings of her ex, because one book about him is enough.
