After hearing people rave about this series on Twitter, I thought I was going to love it. Honestly, it was just okay. Nothing to scream to the rooftops about, but not necessarily bad either. However, I did like how they portrayed their addictions because it was very accurate. I think I will continue the series just to see what happens.

What did I just read?  Why did I even read it?

I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely did not deliver.  Also, the twist was obvious from a mile away.

I think I was swayed by those that said they loved the couple.  I've read darker romances before and they've been meh to okay so I figured, maybe this is the one.  It was not the one.
