Personally I loved it, l just got back into reading and I have been looking for a similar book/series since. Have finished the series and unsure if I’ll find another book that grasped my attention as much as this did.

The sequel was even worse than the first book. Even more gratuitous and unnecessary graphic sexual violence.

The writing was good, but this book is seriously messed up. I am genuinely concerned for the authors mental well-being.

alanabeth's review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

The overall plot of the story was pretty well thought out and written. I didn’t really love the ending as it seemed it was fresh rushed. I also didn’t understand why she (the author) has this conflicting view on Christianity. Maybe she is conflicted internally? Not sure. But would not recommend to anyone unless they are okay with a pretty dark romance.
