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.

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.

So. I read a lot of trashy books with questionable love interests, but this one... I loathed this one. Knox is a horrible being, the absolute embodiment of red flags. Our MC is Aria, who is a kind and OP witch, who takes it upon her to free the magical world from the remnants of her family's bad influence. Also she is 25 years old. Knox is about 1000 years old, and 500 (again, Aria is 25) years ago Aria's family member (NOT Aria) did something terrible to him. That is the tea. For this action he verbally, emotionally, sexually and phisically abuses Aria, while claiming that he loves her.

He basically rapes Aria taking her virginity!!!!!, puts a stigma on her flesh!!!! so that he can monitor her at all times (obviously he didn't ask for consent).

Basically he is the worst possible character ever. I can't emphasize how much I hated him. He is an overgrown toddler, who blames his lack of capability to overcome emotional trauma (in 500 fucking years) on an innocent woman, and abuses her brutally. This is just shitty. Also, I can't for the love of God understand, why Aria haven't hexed his stupid head of after the first 20 or so pages.
There is no redemption arc enough for him to be good. He should be the main villain in this series, not the love interest. I honestly rooted to the villain to kill this pile of dung.
