“Brutal, vicious, shocking… A cataclysmic novel of life in its most raw form…” – 5 stars – Picky Btches Book BlogSeth Wright and Jane Ellerton are messed up. Really messed up. Their violence and love of excess makes them a perfect match and together they make a formidable couple. Life should be good in their screwed-up world, but there are far too many people who have an agenda and want to … far too many people who have an agenda and want to destroy them.
No one can be trusted.
This dark, obsessional and downright dangerous pair will do anything to ensure no one gets in their way and they do bad things. Very bad things.
Drugs, guns and murder – along with Seth’s escalating paranoia and Jane’s erratic behaviour throws them further into chaos, madness and debauchery and their promise to love one another until the end of time turns into a war. A war not just against everyone around them, but with each other.
Can they get their lives on track or will one of them finally snap, meaning they will both forever have to live with the aftermath?
After all, obsession is a deadly downfall and love does not necessarily conquer all. Especially when it is well and truly warped.

”…I couldn’t help but think of Seth and Jane like the couple in the movie Natural Born Killers. Which, at the time was a pretty controversial movie, much like what I think this story is as well… I love how the author did not hold anything back. The story is in your face, every messed up thing you can think of is probably written in the pages… ” -5 stars – Sinfully Wicked Book Reviews

Fabulous story!
I think this is the hardest review I’ve ever written.
This isn’t my usual genre by a long shot…..and there’s a big part of me that didn’t enjoy it for that reason……but an even bigger part of me that absolutely loved it!!!
This book comes with trigger warnings for very good reasons, a mixed bag that gripped me from page one.
It’s sad the way the characters lived their lives, but beautiful witnessing the love despite the drugs, alcohol and hardships.
The story is very well written and filled with, intense hot chemistry, but I had mixed feelings about Seth, Jane and their crowd. I loved their deep love but really struggled with some of the morals and found some of their actions difficult to read……and some parts I just had to skip over. I wanted to stop reading altogether at one point as I didn’t think I could continue with the darkness of the their lives…..but the intensity of the story just kept me hooked and turing the pages, giving me no choice but to continue and I was really glad I did. Book 2 sounds intriguing and a part of me can’t wait to delve in, but I’m not quite ready for it just yet……….
A sick obsessive love….murder, mayhem, sex and drugs, makes this a really dark and at times disturbing read. I had to keep reading even though I felt frustrated, angry, repulsed and in total disbelief that people can actually live and behave the way that Seth, Jane and the rest of there crew did, but the story still drew me in needing to know what was going to be the game changer for Seth and Jane to finally change there way of life. I was actually sad where this book finished off, so will be starting book 2 ASAP.
Hold onto your seats, ’cause Until the End of Time was one helluva ride! It’s dark, vicious and brutal but isn’t that the reason we love diving into a book just like this one? It transports us into a whole different realm where there are no such thing as rules and trust be damned. This is definitely not your typical love story, but well worth your time if your into a great thriller!
Seth and Jane kinda remind me of Bonnie and Clyde from way back in the day. They don’t take no shit from anyone and nothing fazes them at all! Their characters are not very likable, but their relationship is intense, passionate and explosive to a fault.
All in all, I’d highly recommend Until the End of Time to anyone who loves a vigilante type of thriller. And, is not offended by triggers of any kind.
I loved the gritty, sleazy, uneasy vibe that the author somehow managed to keep going throughout this book. It goes well with the interesting, troubled characters. I would recommend this book to anyone into star crossed lovers or anyone looking for something different and original.
A twisted, dark and unconventional romance
If you like dark romance this is a book for you. Jane and Seth will take you in a world full of violence, drugs, alcohol, and sex. Although I didn’t have sympathy with Jane and Seth, their story was interesting and captivating. I wanted to finish reading to see how it ends. For those who like won’t mind twisted and dark romance I recommend this book.
One thing you can say about this book, it certainly isn’t boring. I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy a book while disliking the main characters, but I did. Seth and Jane are both violent, drug addicted, alcoholic criminals. They are self-absorbed and treat their friends like dirt (and sometime each other). There is nothing to like about them. But that is kind of the point. Yes having said that, while you hope something bad happens to them, you still find yourself wanting them to be able to get back at the people who cause them harm and you desperately want there to be a happy ending. (I won’t tell you if there is or not as I don’t do spoilers).
It’s quite rare for a book to have much effect on me while I am reading it, but I found myself becoming angry and irritable while reading this one. It shows how well written it is and that the characters emotions are well portrayed. The author does an excellent job with the characters and making them realistic.
Drugs, money, fighting, killing, and a lot of bumping uglies! This book has pretty good character building, and the writing was great. The author made it simple for us to get to know the people and their stories. There were a few spots where it felt rushed, and some were a little long-winded, but I thought it was overall an easy and exciting reading.
Introduction to this author and honestly I’m on the fence, trying to decide what I thought about this book. It’s okay, but sorry to say I won’t be reaching for any further instalments! I love a dark romance but I didn’t feel that this was dark. It was about a bunch of misfits who liked to get off their faces by doing drugs or drinking. They had no moralistic values, would cheat and steal from their best mate. Somehow this was all done in cahoots with an MC chapter, gun running and drug dealing. Paranoia was running rife, things were totally out of hand and I found myself being judgemental of the characters. I was waiting for their lives to implode on them. Someone had to die, overdose or get put away for life.
Seth and Jane are in love with each other. Their love for each other borders on the obsessive. Seth’s paranoia spirals out of control when Jane is not within his sights. Jane’s inconsistent behavior creates problems where none should exist.
While they may seem like the perfect couple, there are all kinds of red flags. Drugs, drugs, and more drugs are a huge part of their life together. And then there are the other people on the edge of their lives that would like nothing better than to split them up solely for their own pleasure.
I did not like any of the characters.. none of them had any redeeming qualities to my mind. Most of the action takes places in the bedroom, on the floor, against the wall, etc. This one just isn’t my cup of tea. The ending was quite unpredictable and while not a cliff hanger as such, the next book takes place where this one leaves off.

Many thanks to the author / TBC Reviewer Request Group (FB). I received a digital copy at no charge and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
This story took me a little while to get into because it is a fast paced hell for leather novel that doesn’t give the reader much time to take a breath. It is kind of like one of those James Bond introductions and you have to keep up. there are also a lot of characters to get to grips with in the beginning. That said once settled into the break-neck speed style of the author you get appreciate these flawed characters that seem hell bent on destroying themselves and each other. Bonnie and Clyde-esque this story takes the seedier part of life head on- sex, drugs, violence are the back drop to this obsessive high octane love story
A dark and gritty look at the self-destructive behavior of a world most of us will never see. Fueled by drugs and alcohol, pushed along by easy sex, easy money and utterly amoral behavior, the reader is submerged in a completely alien environment. A hard-charging, compelling read!
This story is dark and takes on a maddening journey of sex, drugs, murder and even rock n roll with Alice Cooper….eh, sort of. One of main themes of this story is the maladaptive obsessive nature that is prevalent in most of the characters, which goes through the gamer of delusions and fantasy, adding that extra depth and layers to not only the characters but the story as well. Couple this with other misaligned thoughts, such as possessive mindsets and paranoia, creates a deadly mixture when adding all the drug and alcohol abuse. This story also shows the darker side of romance as leans more towards abusive, violent, and twisted into a strange version that most people wouldn’t expect. This one is not of the timid and that’s okay because this is wonderful contrast to what most romance stories are about. A great start to what promises to be a exceptional dark series! I highly recommend this one!
This is overall a really solid read. Once it captivated my attention, I couldn’t stop. Didn’t matter that I needed sleep, I had to finish the book and find out what happened. Even after putting it down it was impossible to sleep which is a sign of my favorite types of books. The ones you put down and wonder why you enjoyed it that much.
This is a very atypical read, which I love. Expect violence, expect to hate characters even as you fall in love with them and most of all expect a plot that isn’t one-dimensional. The author is consistent with the characters throughout the book and it has some good character development, which is always appreciated.
It did have some issues. One is the length. I don’t mind long books, however I think this would have benefited either by putting it into two books or condensing it. It became a bit repetitive in places where the scenes were portraying the same aspect. That meant it was a little hard to get into but once I did, it was magic. The other issue is the world building. It is not as strong as it could be, which was a bit disappointing. I wanted to know more about what the author saw and thought. These issues caused the deduction of a star. That being said, I still found it enjoyable and original.
4 stars for originality and excellent twists! Solid recommendation.
