I will read the other books in the series because I’m curious what happens next. It’s entertaining to read. I hate Killian. Their relationship isn’t adorable and I don’t ship it.

Way too over hyped. From an ethical standpoint this book is very debatable.

thewenzl's review against another edition

Got bored with repition of sociopathic behavior and FMC responses to it, not enough actual plot to moving the book forward.

The first attempt to read this book, few month ago, was a failure.
I stopped within 30 pages and the chapter still remains an issue for me (I will explain below).

I tried again this time with the audiobook and it was a way better experience.

It is not quite an ennemies to lovers but we can relate.
Virgin and awakening FMC 
Psychopath MMC
Secret societies (along with mafia vibes)
He falls first 

Now I have two issues (big ones):
- the first “spice scene” and how it is treated all along the book.

It is basically a rape and a particularly degrading one, it made me really uncomfortable the first time and still do also because it is romanticized all along the book and no it is not.

- the POV of two characters (one chapter each) that give no information whatsoever. These don’t add anything to the story or the other characters. It adds pages but nothing to the plot.

Nevertheless the narrators are really good. So thanks to them.
