Main character’s powers appear to be basically just SA

Honestly disappointed to rate this one so low, as I only read one and a half chapters the two times I tried to read it. 

The first time I attempted reading it, I had just finished two books from the same era and it was too similar to those characters.

The second time, I realized the "charm powers" is just glorified rape and sexual assault. Had to put it down quickly.

beldaran1224's review

The very beginning of chapter 2 has our protagonist having sex with a man that she has used magic to "charm" - essentially sexually assaulting him. The narrative - at least that far in, portrayed this as a non-issue because the magic only worked on people who were already attracted to her. I felt repulsed by this. STRONG content warning for sexual assault.
