Ew. Basically a rip off ACOTAR. Mature themes but the writing was childish and the book was filled with sexism, internalised misogny and slutshaming from the first page. Reads like a 12 year olds first wattpad novel after watching twilight especially bc of her silver hair (bfr), colour changing eyes, magically hairless body and her 5ft 3 status. Seriously, one of the characters is called Luna and she's an alpha werewolf. This got boring rq and the sexualisation of the fmc including the constant pointing out of the fact that shes an innocent virgin  who desperately needs to have sex according to literally everyone was really irritating. She was also bitchy to/ abou  every other female in the story. And the author literally only threw in the mothers abuse for pity points-so it seems as it was so badly written. The plot and worldbuilding is a raggedy thread barely holding the sexual assault/ harassment scenes together.  Also surprise surprise she has never felt this way about a (blue eyed blonde haired who's a towering giant with tattoos and plenty of money oh and also the king obviously! ) man before. Lastly the ml is a weirdo - " you're starting to look like a murder victim it's giving me a hard on "   , " you're definitely a virgin - your pureness is very rare" who specialised in toxic and borderline if not abusive relationships . Wouldn't recommend.
