Synopsis (Goodreads):

Alexa has one purpose in life and it’s to take down the war machines called Cyborgs. Specifically, the one known as Hysterian, also known as the Tormentor, the Twitch, the Jumper. The Cyborg killed her father and she’s determined to see the same thing happen to him.

First, she needs to get close to Hysterian.

Second, she needs to get him to trust her.

But the closer she gets, the stranger and more fascinating he becomes. She finds him watching her every move. He’s in every shadowy corner. He’s in her dreams. He’s even stoking a desire in her that she’s long kept buried. There’s no turning back while stranded on a ship in the middle of outer space.

There’s nowhere to run.

There’s nowhere to hide.

He’s her father’s killer.

Whatever happens now, however the Cyborg makes her feel, she’s determined that only one of them will make it off the ship alive...

Thoughts on Dark Hysteria: Okay. I'm back in the cyborg shifters world and yessssss. They're slightly off-kilter and wild amounts of fun and I am so here for that. Also, people end up dead around them a lot and I find their casual ability to kill to be, well, refreshing. Ruthless metal killing machines are my things, I guess.

Anywho. This time around we have Hysterian and his outside-of-normal abilities. He's as much of a hot mess as the other cyborg shifters are and I'm okay with that. And then we have Alexa who is 100% ready to take out the cyborg who killed her father and is 100% certain she's not going to survive doing it. Which makes things a little complicated when the two of them start catching heart eyes around one another.

But things are rarely straightforward in the cyborg world and they have a whole lot of hoops to jump through before they can find their happy place. There's Hysterian's ability and Alexa's half-truths and need for vengeance. Yup, these two have to work for their HEA and figure a whole lot of things out.

I'm still hardcore digging these cyborgs and their ladies. They're all dealing with a whole bunch of things, not the least of which is keeping their beasts locked down enough not to hurt the people they care about. I feel a full-series re-read heading in my direction in the future. *thumbs up*
