After getting past the incesty part of the book, it was really good. The ending feels finished in a super sweet way.

This was something to say the least, I did enjoy it a little but the long chapters and the general relationship made it kinda hard to get through at points. It’s the longest it’s taken me to read something in a long time.

This was an uncomfortable read and so many plot points are messed up.

The men in this long-lost extended family often regard her as a daughterly/ sisterly figure, but she has sexual worth all of them.

 

I get that it’s a dark-themed romance but the kissing-cousins vibe isn’t my idea of a sexy time.  

That said, it was so over the top that I was curious enough to binge the audiobook in two days.

hughestm's review against another edition

I couldn't finish this book...at all. I read ahead (yes, I'm that person) and I can't really stomach this kind of smut. This is some male fantasy bullshit, I can't see that women are really into being sexually assaulted...I guess there may be some who think this is all they're worth, but I can't imagine there are enough. I like smut, but this is just straight up porn shit. It's gross.
