Overview
“I’ve done far worse than what I went to prison for. But now, it’s time for my revenge.” WINTER.
Imprisoning him was the best thing I could have done for myself. He committed the crime and I just wanted justice.
But I never expected him to get out, let alone come after me. Prison only fueled his anger and now he’s back for revenge.
He doesn’t want to hurt just me, he wants to hurt everyone around me. And he’s starting with my family.
He’s already taken away our sense of security and now we’re all alone and vulnerable. He’s a monster and he won’t stop until he’s made us all suffer.
But I won’t let that happen. I have to take control of the situation and protect my family.
But as the terror escalates, I know I’m in over my head. He’s already won the first battle and I’m not sure I can survive the next one.
He’s cunning and has everything planned out, but he doesn’t know the strength of a woman who’s fighting for her loved ones. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it means facing my worst nightmare head-on.
He may have all the keys, but I have the power to fight back.

Editoral Review
Penelope Douglas’ Kill Switch is a must-read for fans of romantic suspense novels. Published on February 9, 2019, this novel revolves around dark themes such as revenge, betrayal, and obsession.
The story takes place in San Francisco and follows the life of Damon Torrance, a charismatic and enigmatic billionaire who has the power to destroy his enemies. When he meets Winter Ashby, he is immediately captivated by her innocence and determination.
The two of them share a connection that transcends their past traumas and painful memories. However, things take a dark turn when Damon’s enemies begin to target Winter, threatening to unravel everything they hold dear.
As they fight to stay alive, they find themselves in a web of lies and deceit, struggling to find a way out. Penelope Douglas has done an excellent job of weaving together a thrilling plot with well-developed characters.
Damon is a complex anti-hero, with a vulnerability that is both endearing and heartbreaking. Winter is a strong and resilient heroine, who refuses to be a victim of circumstance.
The novel is well-paced, with enough twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Douglas’ writing is crisp and clear, painting vivid images of San Francisco and its surroundings.
One of the strengths of the novel is the conflict between the two main characters. While they are deeply in love, they are also battling their own demons, which threaten to tear them apart.
It is this tension that keeps the story moving forward and makes it a compelling read. However, one of the weaknesses of the book is the way that certain plot points are resolved.
Some of the resolutions feel contrived, and the resolutions are not always satisfying. Despite this, Kill Switch is a gripping novel that will appeal to fans of romance thrillers.
It’s a rollercoaster of a ride that is sure to keep readers engaged until the very end. Overall, I would rate Kill Switch a solid four out of five stars.
While there are some flaws, the novel is still an entertaining and engaging read that fans of the genre will enjoy.
