belle13's review against another edition
Each to their own but this was way too messed up for me. This is not a romance sorry.

I don’t know how I feel about this book yet. I think this may be one of the few books where I would be okay if there was no HEA. This book was extremely dark and heavy. And I don’t know if there really was character growth on Alexei’s part.
I think the conflict should have resolved itself earlier and we got actual fluff from Alexei and Talia. But my heart just broke for her and him over and over again.
I also wish the author would have used trigger warnings, because this book was heavy on the suicidal thoughts/attempts.
And it should be known that during the consensual sex, the characters involve pain play (knives, candles). It’s not every time, but the MCs initial sexual relations can be triggering.
