| Dark Forces Book 1 |
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: 4/5 Stars
Cameron is a deadly asset to Dark Forces. There is just one problem. He keeps killing his partners. Though truthfully, it’s not his fault. He takes experimental drugs DF gives him in order for them to create the perfect soldier and clearly it has some kinks to work out. For Cameron, he tends to lose his mind a bit and the results aren’t what DF wants. They can’t afford to have their own soldiers dead by their hands. So they are giving Cameron another chance hoping that the incentive and the continued new drugs will finally be resolved. Cameron is thrown basically back to bootcamp and his objective is to keep his new partner alive. Emery never wanted the role the family business gave her. But she has never had a choice. And when they throw her under the bus to save themselves, she is facing a death sentence. Until Dark Forces picks her up. Time to use the skills in a new environment and survive her psycho partner, Cameron. But Emery sees something more in Cameron than others. And the fact that he seems to care for her too makes her think that maybe he can overcome this. But when the trials begin, she’ll have to put her trust in him to survive. Great start to their duology because this was not the end of their story! And what an end that was! For those who have read Leave Me Behind, fun fact, this takes place a decade before which I found super interesting. More so, we get to look at what happens when someone is recruited and the trials they ender before they end up on one of the deadly squads. I really enjoyed getting to know Emery and Cameron and I can’t wait to see how their story ends.
