Premise and plot? Ludicrous. 
Writing? Atrocious, juvenile, repetitive.
Characters? Don't get me started.

Non-con remains gross. Do people really find SA and threats of sexual violence cute? I don't understand.

3.5 stars. This book got dark from the first page and I was not prepared! If you are going to read this and you need warnings about content, look before reading because you don’t get much time to be ready. I’m interested in seeing how the other couples in this series play out, and how the over-arching storyline plays out. There was a lot of suspension of disbelief required, but that can be fun when you want it.

Did y’all not read the same book I did? 

This book glorifies rape and SA and should not even be considered a “dark romance” - there is nothing romantic about it. 

Not only is the main plot line SA every other page, the story is awful, the writing is redundant, and the characters are annoying. Why a publisher thought it was a good idea to put this book out into the world (warning notice be damned) is emotionally abusive to all readers. 

Rina, (and frankly, all the readers who gave a favorable review) are you ok??? Blink twice if you need help.

Where to begin. Y'all. We all need some serious therapy... cause wth did I just read?! This was sooooo....dark? Twisted? Disturbing? The opening alone has me worried for all of us for not DNFing and rooting for them by the middle of the book. I obviously read the unedited/censored version with "the scene" and my jaw was on the floor!! Did I continue? Yes.  Did I enjoy it? Yes, but not as much as God of Fury! That one is still my favorite. I'm excited for Mia and Landon's story though!! Even though I hate Landon! lol Anyway, Rina, girl! Are you alright? I'm sure we can get a group therapy discount!

This book is pretty dark with dubious consent, but if you’re cool with that in FICTION the plot is pretty good. Like Skulls with more violence and sex. D
