Noelle’s childish behavior is very cringey snd annoying, I understand she’s suffered and she’s not mentally well but the author really made her behavior outlandish and at times not even making sense. Also I understand this is a dark story and the trigger warnings prepare you for that, however, are we really suppose to like Rafaelo? Is he really our characters love interest? Even when he sexually assaults her and plays with her mental state of mind? Don’t get me wrong I completely get where he’s coming from and can understand the need for revenge but to make him the main love interest doesn’t quite make sense to me. I don’t know if I’ll be finishing this book or even the rest of the series.

Very dark. Please pay attention to the trigger warnings at the beginning of this book - they’re there for a reason.

Also ends on a massive cliffhanger so felt like I was traumatised for no reason.

This is definitely not a light read. And I was questioning the MMC throughout the whole book until the end LITERALLY THE LAST TWO PAGES. He was clouded by his trauma of course but what he did was still creepy especially

when he took the FMC to this place and has her blind folded to think that these 5 guys are molesting her but in the end it’s just him

. HOWEVER the author did have the list of trigger warnings at the beginning of the book with a warning so you’re not unprepared. Overall I can’t wait for the next book to come out and see the character development in the MMC and his relationship with the FMC.
