This book crossed lines that I am not comfortable with. However, I devoured and constantly found myself wanting to be reading it. I was gonna not read the second one because I can’t support a relationship built

on rape. But that cliffhanger ugh

. 

I am confused. I hate all the characters. The murder mystery was a fun thing in the background. I don’t know. I gave myself a full nights sleep before writing this review and still don’t know how I feel.
