I would have liked to give a higher rating but I had trouble reconciling the mentally disabled character with erotica, left a sour heavy feeling in my belly. He can’t even speak in full sentences, screams and throws toddler tantrums, and requires 24/7 supervision. It felt extremely wrong and grody to have him play such a pivotal sexual role.

That said, the book was well written and the promised dark was absolutely there but I suppose sexualizing the disabled/mentally incompetent really takes the wind out of my sails

The pacing felt a bit awkward but mostly the non-con in this made me too uncomfortable

Was this book quite twisted? Yes. Did I love it? Also Yes. Why only 4 stars? Because I’m not a big fan of age gaps, especially when one of them is 18. It just seemed a bit gaslighty at points and I don’t like that.

Ok seriously what in the wattpad was this. It looks like a teenager wrote it. Tf did i just read. The author’s note was like “you are gonna see the dark side of Cassie” smtg like that but what i get is an immature writing with cringe and annoying characters. First of all, heroine is supposed to be at college but why do they behave like middle school shits? She is new in college, the mean girl is like “the hot dude is mine” then another girl comes rescues the heroine and they are bffs. What the fuck bro. It was like the mean girl was not a mean girl but an angel from God who was sent to make That girl and heroine friends. Not even a day goes by and they are bffs for life, probably making friendships bracelets.

Dont get me started on Lukas. He is supposed to be a cop who pretends to be the heroine’s bf to protect her but after 3 days he goes to her room and be like “lets date for real cuz i cant control my self anymore”. And they start kissing like little virgins. This dude is supposed to be 10 yrs older than her and a cop. What the fuck is this book. Who wrote the authors note? Cuz it seems like a bunch of little shits running around and killing ppl for shits and giggles. These are the guys who are back benchers and write poems about death, tells everyone they are vampires and forces themselves to love blood because oh they are vampires.

I did not even finish this book. Dnf at 25% cuz after these stupid ass scenes i was done cuz my high school friend with a F in English can write better than this.
