Please please look at the content warnings before reading this book. 
It’s horrible but weirdly addictive, like I want to stop but can’t

Never can be bothered to review usually but this was possibly the worst thing I’ve ever read. None of the characters had any redeeming qualities, in fact they were all irredeemable in my opinion, and all they talked about was sex and breeding (SEE TRIGGER WARNINGS). Honestly had to force myself to finish this so many times it was frightful.

Terrible. I nearly dnf several times. The world could be interesting but you can’t really tell because the characters are horrible and I hated them all. They never get better. There’s plenty of smut but it’s honestly gross because both characters just suck. Do not recommend.

This was...... something. I was very tempted to give this book a one star but, like, here's the thing; it was entertaining. Albeit, in the same way shitty reality tv is entertaining. Like, "God, these people suck and this is such garbage content but why can't I stop watching?" 

Anyway, this book is fun to read if you don't take it seriously--and especially if you hate read it with friends or something--otherwise just skip this one, I think. It's way too long to be this bad.

(Also, that disclaimer at the beginning was such a red flag to begin with. "caveman-like asshole" ???? ma'am???)

katevhutchinson's review against another edition

I have absolutely no idea how this book made it to print. It feels like an author sat down with a bottle of wine and wrote it in a night?
I feel like, had it had time and energy spent in it, it could have had real meaning and substance. Except it was all f*** and c*** which isn't really a plot? And heavens, don't get me started on the dialogue, four pages of back and forth that could have been half a page.
Bottom line, just as everyone says, the only reason I made it this far was because it was a train wreck I couldn't look away from. Buh-bye.

This book is dark. But still manages to be compelling. 

Draws on inspiration from various mythology but Hutchins makes it her own, the storyline mostly gets interesting in the second half of the book. 

Enemies to lovers but actually enemies. Is this a bully romance? 😂
