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.

TLDR: Sheltered, almost-18 year old woman, newly orphaned by neglectful parents, must move in with estranged "Step Uncle" and his 2 sons. Grooming, cringe, verbal abuse, SA, ick and all other flavors of unseemly circumstances ensue. Young woman, ultimately failed by every adult in her life, almost ends up ok but in the end, understandably based on circumstances, chooses poorly for herself after all. The end.
