Max Bennett is worse than the devil.
At least you know Satan is going to eat you alive.
With Max, he’ll make you beg for it first.
Make you think he’s doing you a favor as he rips your heart right out of your chest.

Addison London is payment for a job gone wrong.
Her life was never her own.
Born into crime and raised by monsters, she thinks she knows what she’s getting into with Max.

But Max is a master at mind games. A crime boss without conscience, he enjoys playing with his prey.
And Addison never could pass up a deal with the devil.

Their ensuing relationship is unorthodox at best, downright dangerous at worst.

Max doesn’t bend.
Addison refuses to break.

But someone’s going to take it too far. And in a world like theirs, they were already doomed from the start.

Wow just, WOW. This books is dark and freaking disturbing, but boy, do I love it.
Unorthodox is lethal for the heart, but leaves you wanting it all the same. 😏
Definitely an acquired taste. Read at your own risk, not for the faint hearted.

4.0 out of 5 stars WHAT DID I JUST READ
Reviewed in Australia on 21 December 2020
KV Rose knows how to write dark romance that really messes with your head!
This book was amaaaaaaazing. I am a huge fan of her writing so I already knew that I would love this book.

The best part? Even if it was only the tiniest little bit - JEREMIAH RAIN aka my man 😍 that was just the icing on the cake.

If you think that you are going to read this book and fall in love with Max, think again. He is cold, dark, ruthless and just bloody lethal! I spent the whole time HATING him! I have finished the book HATING HIM! I honestly have no idea HOW Addison could ever have feelings for him. There is just no way he could ever redeem himself.

The thing about Unorthodox is that every single character has a really dark past. They have all experienced pain, trauma and abuse.

Dante. Oh my heart. I just can’t. I love him. My emotions went haywire when it came to Dante. I don’t know why KV would do this to us!!!

Long story short. This book is messed up in so many ways but it is one of those books that will have you gripping the edge of your chair and your heart pumping a million beats per minute! It is dark, delicious and will rip all of your emotions apart. I was hooked right from the start and binge read the whole entire thing in a matter of hours.
Now I am slowly DYING and needing the next book NOW!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don’t read this...your missing out!
Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2020
I DEVOURED THIS! No sleep for this girl, hell no! I read this like my life depended on it!
.
Intense, angsty, gripping, gritty, heart stopping and so dark you feel you are being sucked into a black hole!
.
This is a dark romance and for me even that feels too tame as a description. If you have triggers it’s best to seriously consider reading this because there’s no area in which this book doesn’t touch. Well I’m sure there are but you are so immersed in darkness it doesn’t matter.
.
K.V in my opinion is the best at what she does! You want a dark romance? K.V is your best bet. Hands down have not read anything in the genre that comes close to this level and I honestly jump at any and ALL of her work. The complexities and depth she portrays as seen in this book is compelling, captivating and enthralling. So much layers and a plot that develops and flows so smoothly throughout. So thick and heavy there’s not a minute you don’t want to miss. Such strong and well thought out characters. You either love to hate, hate to love, straight hate or love them so much. They definitely leave an impression regardless of your feelings for them and will stick with you for a long time after. Max, he feels like a dirty guilty pleasure almost or is it just me? Getting to the core of him is a ride I won’t forget. And I can’t wait for the second book!
.
This world will stick with me for some time I can guarantee that! You see this kind of thing on tv but it doesn’t have you deep in it quiet like this book. The vivid imagery, the authentic emotions is wrings out of you it’s truly spellbounding. I feel I need to bathe in holy water after this book, but regardless I’d subject myself to it time and again!
.
I absolutely love K.V Rose and the worlds she brings us. No matter how dark she goes I’m living for it. The sense of danger gets your heart pumping, adrenaline flowing, hands trembling, it’s definitely an experience every time and this was definitely one!

I’ve read dark, but this one was like too dark dark too crazy and for me when she uttered “Daddy” nope that kind of put off the whole of the book for me and it’s why I rated this 3 stars. Am I going to read the second book you bet I am doesn’t mean I didn’t like it, I’m just curious about Addison.

Reviewed in Australia on 21 August 2020
I enjoyed the writing of this book, but did not enjoy some parts (I know I know, its a dark romance and I was warned) perhaps I wasn't in the right mood to read it, but alot of the conditioning/training scenes, I didn't enjoy. Anyway, overall a good read and well written.

Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2020
Well holy cow wasn't this book a wild ride. I wasn't to sure for most of this book if the main characters hated or loved each other but the passion was definitely intense and you could feel the heat and desire that was all over these pages. Loved this dark story and I can't wait to read what happens next ❤❤❤

This book is so underrated. The fact that haunting Adeline is so known and this isn’t is crazy to me! Yes the plot is ALOT more dark, and very intense but it doesn’t take away from how good the writing is. Absolutely love this booked, finished it in one sitting. Recommended if you’re okay with REALLY dark plots and pushing towards nonconsensual/ forced intimacy.

Certainly the darkest book I read this year. Max and Addison are two forces of nature colliding. Absurdly beautiful. K.V rocked again. But be careful when reading. It is not for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Painfully addictive.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2020
Verified Purchase
It's taken me a few days to reflect and find the words to review this properly. This is unlike any book I've read before, it's unique, painful but I absolutely loved it.

Max was never intended to be a hero, however in ways he tries to be. His ultimate goal, is heroic but what he has to do in order to achieve his one want in life, makes the reader question if he is a hero or simply desperate.

I'll say now before anyone wants to read this, enter at your own risk. Read any trigger warnings and understand that it is going to be an intense read.

Addison has never had an easy life, and her life becomes harder with every second she spends with Max. He keeps her in the dark, figuratively and literally, he keeps her restricted and kills for her...at least, we thought he did. Addison proves to be feisty, stubborn and doesn't give up without a fight. She is full of darkness, as is Max. Together they are both broken, yet still fighting for their lives. They're brokenness almost seems to balance each other out. He becomes her light and she becomes his addiction.

Now, the story itself is heartbreaking, and bittersweet. Cruelty is what I felt at first when it came to Max and his options, but during the book, I felt Max is desperate. He wants his sibling back, and he will do anything it takes. Including give up his newfound possession. That plot twist in the end...did not see that coming and I am SHOOK.

Yes, it's painful. Yes, it's chilling at times. Yes, it's full of hard choices. It was designed to be this way. KV has an amazing brain. I loved it, and I want more of Max and Addison.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and raw
Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2024
Verified Purchase
My last review got removed! So here is a shortened version. This book was dark and raw much like the author's other writings. Max and Addison both had very messed up childhoods. Addison still looks for the good in people despite everyone. Max makes a living breaking people to sell. Max is also after one thing -- getting his brother back and Addison is the key. It's a messed up love(?) story. Two broken souls find each other because of some twisted circumstances. Max isn't morally grey. He is morally black. Ends in a cliffhanger. Looking forward to book 2!
