I really enjoyed this one! The smut was absolutely filthy; I loved it! The plot kept me engaged and felt pretty spooky. I do think the book felt a little dragged out. Other than that is was awesome!

This book definitely isn't for everyone. It's a very dark romance with quite a bit of dubcon and gore. But if you can stomach that, it's got a great mystery thriller aspect that hooked me.

Definitely lots of triggers (which it makes in the beginning) and I had a hard time with some of them because I had been through similar or the same, but overall the book was so good and I loved how H.D. Carlton represented those things so well

i dont even know how to rate this. it was so unsettling yet i couldn’t put it down. this book made me feel so many different things that i need to process….

i again don’t care for the repetitive phrases like “shell of my ear” or them constantly saying they hate each other lmao. like we get it!!

the spicy parts were SPICY!!!!! but also some made my stomach twist. also, the graphic/gorey scenes were almost too much for me and i couldn’t get images out of my head. 

i did enjoy the moments of sincerity and intimacy sprinkled in in the later half of the book. idk if dark romance is for me??? or maybe just not this dark.
