It was to rapey for me. I remember skimming this book ages ago and everyone was talking about it so I thought I'd read it properly.
It just made me really uncomfortable. It wasn't romantic at all it was scary.

So many characters to keep up with. I don’t know if I can get over the fact that Killian SA’s her over and over. I should probably give this a lower rating. Puked during the epilogue and the “my monster” parts. How is every man we meet the “most powerful”. What a buildup over the fake dead friend to be resolved in a few lines. I also love how Ava, Annika and Cece (I think that’s their names) just disappears after a few chapters. Also the my lord guy is super annoying nothing he says makes sense. I also think this book goes above just being “dark” and the writer uses shock value. I also think people who say “if you think this is dark you should read …” should reevaluate their position on these types of books and how being desensitised against SA contributes to gender based violence.

The first attempt to read this book, few month ago, was a failure.
I stopped within 30 pages and the chapter still remains an issue for me (I will explain below).

I tried again this time with the audiobook and it was a way better experience.

It is not quite an ennemies to lovers but we can relate.
Virgin and awakening FMC
Psychopath MMC
Secret societies (along with mafia vibes)
He falls first

Now I have two issues (big ones):
- the first “spice scene” and how it is treated all along the book.

It is basically a rape and a particularly degrading one, it made me really uncomfortable the first time and still do also because it is romanticized all along the book and no it is not.

- the POV of two characters (one chapter each) that give no information whatsoever. These don’t add anything to the story or the other characters. It adds pages but nothing to the plot.

Nevertheless the narrators are really good. So thanks to them.
