tankytoon's review against another edition
I skimmed after 30%, and read about her being an actual rape victim, I did feel emotional at that part, but somehow I feel frustrated at all the injustices that happened to her for Vivienne to resort to her fantasies to kinda "justify" or make sense of what happened to her.
There were also a lot of side stories that I could care less about like Arturo and Shay's story, or even Chloe's frankly especially after I found out what happened there.
All in all, I was glad I didn't spend anymore time on this book, but was just curious of how it ended, and was really let down.

First of all, a book that has the Rape of Proserpina on it's cover immediately grabbed my attention and once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I found it to be one of the most tastefully done representations of a consensual non-con relationship. The dichotomies in this book, holey cow - both erotic & wholesome, dangerous & caring.
I am in love with both Vivienne & Jonah, and the way it ended...not necessarily a cliff-hanger but a how do they move forward - I can't wait to find out!

I liked the characters, even though the way Jonah is described sometimes made me think he was a black-haired Duke Nukem.
The writing itself is not great, but it’s not awful either. It’s perfectly serviceable. The whole thing was pretty salacious but for some reason, I couldn’t fully connect with it. It felt like I was being kept at a distance as a reader.
