SHE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ONE NIGHT... HE KNEW HE WAS NEVER LETTING HER GO.

Marissa Matlock and her boyfriend are handed a bright red envelope from the mysterious president of Theta Rho Zeta inviting them to the fraternity’s scandalous Red Night event, one they know is filled with debauchery. Attending in hopes of discovering her secret desires, Marissa unwittingly draws the obsession of a dark predator. Now, she is unable to escape Xavier’s thrall.

As her attempts to avoid him fail, Xavier’s twisted plans only ensnare her tighter into his trap. Once she finds out the true reason behind his games, things take a dangerous turn. Will Marissa be able to subvert Xavier’s control? Does she even want to?

“I need you to understand something, Marissa. You’re mine now.”

* An extremely dark stalker romance with multiple twists. Please do not read if you're not comfortable.
* An anti-hero main male character... only you can decide if he is redeemable.

★★★★★ Obsessed like Xavier! Obsession, that's what I felt reading this. I couldn't put it down and I didn't it. Even with a full time work schedule I manage to read this within 18hrs, and what a bliss it was. -Amazon reviewer

★★★★★ Will forever recommend! Kitty King is one of my favorite authors I discovered last year. I first read Red Night on KU then re-read 5 more times knowing I needed to add to my bookshelf collection. -Amazon Reviewer

★★★★★ Deliciously Twisted! Loved all the spice and twists and turns. Towards the end got my heart pounding and my eyes wide open. Recommended for those who love dark romance, lots of spice and triggers. Couldn't put the book down. -Amazon Reviewer

★★★★★ Dark Romance MUST READ! Ok if I'm being completely honest this book has been on my TBR for a bit...every time I'd see a post about it the book would move further up the list... Now I'm mad at myself for waiting so long... I LOVED IT!!! -Amazon Reviewer

★★★★★ Just wow! This freakin book! How is this not all over social media! The main characters have amazing chemistry, the plot to smut ratio is perfect, and Xavier is like the best morally grey kind of character there is! -Amazon Reviewer

Ooooo was this a rabbit hole I was happy to find and fall into!I really thought I was over college romances. Turns out I was just reading the wrong kind of college romances.This book is filthy in the best of ways. And if you are looking for a possessive *ssh*le alpha, well then look no further than Xavier Cardell. All the red flags and yes I still want him lol.So if you haven’t heard of this book, and you like dark romance with degradation and kinks, go ahead and save yourself the trouble of questioning, because YES, you should be reading this book!

Man, red flags are so pretty when they're waving at you. And Xavier Cardell's got one in each hand, just swinging those things for all he's worth. Wow Colleen, you think. He sounds terrible. He is. And I love him so much. I know I'm not right, but I'm also not wrong, and if you've ever found yourself in this predicament over a fictional man then you can come sit next to me.

Speaking of questionable decisions of mine, have you heard the audiobook of Red Night?! Denver Adams absolutely kills the narration on it. Marissa might be Xavier's kitten but Denver's voice purrs. I almost wrecked my car in a Chick-Fil-A drive thru when he started asking us make a choice (iykyk). Don't be like me and make a safety plan before you hit play on that one.

⚠️There is a content warning at the start of the book. Heed it.⚠️

First things first:
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 (4/5)
Violence/gore (2/5)
M/F with some MMF
Fast burn 🔥
Instalust
Standalone
Tropes: stalker, kidnapping, millionaire, college, forced proximity

Premise at its simplest: Main female character attends sex party with boyfriend and host of that party decides shes going to be his. There are zero limits he won't cross to make that happen.

My thoughts are a little complicated on this one. I make it a policy to not do negative reviews. I only review books I like or love. So the fact I'm reviewing this is significant in that regard. However I struggled to like the main male character in this and I also really struggled with the last 30% of the book because in most books when we have a main male character who has done horrible things, he eventually tries to make it right. Whether it's groveling, apologies, grand gestures etc... we see character growth or evolution. We see remorse. It gives us permission as the reader to support the relationship being ongoing. In this book not only do we not get these sense of closure, we get quite the opposite. The way he treated her all the way till the final pages was extremely toxic and abusive. The way she perceived what happened to her was appalling and came across as mentally ill. I ended this book with the rare feeling that I felt sorry for this young woman and her future is grim with a man who would treat her that way. There is no assurance he won't do those things every time he feels angry or insecure or hurt.

Beyond my issue with the main male character there were things I really liked.

I really liked the complexities that came with her bisexual boyfriend and the sexual situations she went into with him. It's not something you see often in a romance novel.

I liked the comfort in sexuality all the characters seemed to have in general.

I thought the fraternal society orgy party was fascinating and the details were pretty awesome.

In fact I would go so far as to say I really liked James, her original boyfriend. Far more than the main male character to be honest. While I understand there was no future with him, he was sweet.

Anyway if you have triggers, I will provide a list, it may not be complete because my memory isn't the best but I will try. If you don't want to know, stop reading here. My review is over at this point.

Triggers:
*

Orgy/sex parties wherein the main character isn't sure she wants to be there (not enthusiastic).

Main character participation in gay/bisexual experiences for her partner despite not really wanting to do so

Physical abuse

Kidnapping and Imprisonment

Intentional "breaking" the main charactera spirit/mind for purposes of control

Forced breeding/messing with her birth control

Stalking/controlling/possessive antihero

I was going to put this as a 4 star. But 80 percent on made me only want to out this at 2.5. But her getting her "happy ending" made me put it at a 3.. The story itself is like reading from the high end of a Wattpad book. It better written then most but still uses words that make you go.."huh"?
I liked the concept. She was trying to find her way. His reasoning for wanting revenge was sound even. I like his reasoning for revenge better than I did in the Lord's book from Shantel Tessier books. To me, a lot of the stuff that happen to those girls just read Stockholm. But at about 80 percent of the book, he does something. No apologies. He just waits until she thinks about it while she's used and abused.. I get. If he can't have her normal, he'll have her that way.. but she just rolled over. Wanted to say sorry to HIM. He couldn't give her a night to just think things through. He had to push it. Her just accepting it is what pushed me not only wanting to make this into a 2.5-star read. That was so out of place, then what he been doing it threw me off of him. He was the perfect bf until that 6 day of hell. Her rolling over just made me dislike her when I actually liked her for the whole 80 percent. He should have begged for forgiveness for all that. I love dark. This wasn't dark at all to me. Him doing that and her just shrugging and saying whatever. That was.. ugh annoying and untrue to the storyline to me.

I found Kitty King on Instagram and saw a raving review by one of my friends and I just had to see for myself and boy did it not disappoint!! Starting out I felt Marissa was compromising a lot to be in her and James relationship while he was giving nothing to her in return. And while I get he wanted to explore his sexuality since he had just figured out he was bisexual while dating her and Marissa gave him the opportunity to explore that but like what was she getting in return? That first Red Night was just so heartbreaking for her but also eye opening to what she deserved and needed in a partner. During that night we are introduced to Xavier and he is all in with Marissa from the beginning even to the point to claiming her. It was absolutely hot 🥵 and then the constant need to be protective her and just put it out there that she belonged to him. And while it looked one sided, Marissa was just as equally as willing to give up control and receive it even if it took a while to get there. We saw a lot of drama, possessive behavior, mess with her & you’ll get what’s coming to you, and twists & turns that I certainly didn’t expect. Towards the end of the book I was absolutely livid with Xavier but then closely looked at Marissa’s actions and came to the same conclusion Marissa had it just took her a while to sit with her anger to process everything. All in all, I loved the breeding kink (was so hot how Xavier was adamant in putting a baby in Marissa), possessiveness, overly loving nature, spoiling both with gifts and attention, and always gave her what she needed/wanted. And like why wouldn’t you want what he was offering you like hello I’d willingly say heck yeah I’ll be that for you daddy 🤭❤️ P.S. I also loved all the side characters and I can’t wait to read all about them in the next two books in this color series! Can’t recommend enough!!!

Eines meiner ersten Dark Romanze Bücher und ich bin total sprachlos. Die Story ist vom ersten Kapitel an spannend und sehr hot. Das Ende hat mich ein bisschen aus der Fassung gebracht und ist gar nicht so Meins. Im Grossen und Ganzen ist es aber ein tolles Buche. Würde ich auf jeden Fall wieder lesen.

Romanticizes rape. The male lead really hits her and rapes her. Do not recommend. This was the grossest thing I’d ever read. She was basically a glorified whore.

Book was okay, quite spicy and enjoyable. Very fast paced and little too unrealistic. After the dungeon antics she gave in way to easy and he had barely even said sorry. His treatment wasn’t great there. Epilogue was good and glad it all worked out for them and they got the babies and they were happy
