3⭐️⭐️⭐️& 22🌶️🌶️. I am a little conflicted with this book, not gonna lie it’s messsedddd uppp. But did we enjoy it anyway? Obviously. It started strong, with a lot of potential but fell a little flat for me around halfway. It’s a dark Rapunzel retelling if it was set in New York and she was locked in a warehouse by a serial killer and then is “rescued” by 3 vigilante serial killers instead. I found the tedious hair wash routine amusing, this is a side of fairytales we don’t get. Things I didn’t like… whilst it was well written, parts felt a bit fanfictiony to me. It was a very quick story, and I therefore felt the sexual encounters were extremely rushed and a little distasteful when you consider what Zella has gone through. I would personally prefer a longer book with a little more build up and character development. But that’s my practical brain talking and it had dark smut so 3 stars from me!
