Things I didn't like, and this isn't dislikes so much as maybe didn't quite hit the mark for me. The backstories.
I will say, and my favorite thing about this series, is that there are actual book illustrations sprinkled throughout the works. I applaud Sophie Lark for supporting artists and illustrators. That really put a smile on my face. Do the characters look like I imagined in my head, not exactly, no. But did she commission someone to illustrate her work; Yes, and for that I'll be looking at her other works, because now more than ever it's hard for illustrators to get work. I love that she's supporting artists in that way.

I would've enjoyed more of an exploration of her dark side, seeing her become more twisted as we see the "twisted" MMC become more humanized. Overall, I think this duet is moreso for the people who want a sexual story than one with equal amounts of plot. It wasn't really for me, but it helped me shape my taste and know what I want in darker fiction.

The most astonishing part for me is how Sophie describes emotions, feelings, sensations(touch, taste, etc.)
This less spicy than the first one.
This book was overwhelming for someone as sensible as me.
In a good way.
The plot is as expected (no surprise there) but I don’t think that was the real purpose of the end of the story.
It was an intense journey.
