“New York Times: Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot, winter nights ensue in this steamy dark romance” 

Rated porn. Morally gray and I loved it. I would often laugh, gasp, and cringe all in the same paragraph.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever read, but I have to give it two stars cos I couldn’t put it down. 

I honestly think I read things which I’ll need to talk to a therapist about. Traumatised…

One of the worst books I’ve read in my entire life. It was like a car crash. So horrific but I couldn’t look away.

Worst thing I've ever read. Need to preface this by saying I read this for a challenge and it turned out to be even worde than anticipated. Toxic, creepy, and incestuous (not to mention the other weird implications); it is also horribly written. I'm begging the author to learn about writing longer sentences. No real character development whatsoever and no diversity either cause they're fucking related. Very concerned about the SA that's never adressed. This would be way better as a atockholm syndrome thriller.

Wtf did I just listen to? I think this author needs to serve jail time… and so do I for finishing the entire book. 
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this book to anyone I love.
