That does not mean that I have lost interest or I am not intrigued because I am, but I feel that for the time being, for me, it has ended nicely that I can leave it for a while and then go back (this is coming from someone who hates to read unfinished series due to not having patience to wait for the next books to come out so this is a purely bias opinion)
It does start of slightly slow but I believe this is due to all the information that the reader needed to understand the back story etc,but it does pick up!
this series has a badass curvy woman as the protagonist that is snarky and doesn't like being told what to do. Of course here is also a beautiful male counter part that I believe most woman (and men) would throw themselves at. There are also plenty of side characters that you can't help but love.
It is a story that deals with a lot of different themes and I love nothing better that power hungry abusing individuals get what the deserve.
It should possibly come with a few content warnings such as abuse, torture (in my opinion), violence etc but I do not believe that any of them are graphic enough that it should cause distress but if you have experienced any you may want to be careful!
As I said at the begining, the pacing of this book certainly picked up and if has left me wondering how we are going to get 6/7 books out of this series but I am excited to find out and I am in it for the journey.

It's been a day since I finished reading it and I haven't stopped thinking about it so, had to get the others. I don't know what to say without spoiling so...
I gave it a 4.5 rating but it might change.
If you plan on reading this, you should definitely look for a list of Trigger Warnings. It's really important.

I was worried this book wouldn’t live up to the hype, but if you stick it through, it will. Not going to lie, it was slowwww all the way up until halfway through, and it finally started picking up then and became worth it. If you endure the world-building and slowness, you’re hit with a killer plot twist and great development in the characters and overall story-arc. Is the relationship toxic? A little bit. Do you love it anyways? Yes, you very much do. A few really spicy scenes that live up to the hype as well.
