amp_912's review against another edition

There just literally wasn’t a plot to it, and it felt so bland and boring. I didn’t love the writing either. It was very difficult to follow and I just didn’t seem to have it in me to read almost 300 pages just to finish it when I know they get together in the end. So I wouldn’t recommend this book to people. Especially when it has SO MUCH hype around it. Cmon now

this book hooked me from the sentence to the last one and it was a very interesting read. apart from the wattpad stories i have read before, it’s safe to say that this is my first dark romance read. i usually find the genre disturbing because i don’t really like violence in my contemporary books.

this book was a good read, but there were some plot holes. i didn’t fall in love with nico as much as i expected to. he was still misogynistic somehow and to be honest, he really needs therapy. i also would’ve preferred if he groveled more because i didn’t think he groveled enough. on the other hand, i would’ve wanted to see more of elena’s family and her past— to dig deeper on why her father tried to sell her. i also wish i got to see more of adriana.

overall, it’s a great read, it just has some plot holes. if you want a book that will help you get out of a reading slump, i suggest to read this.
