The monster and his bait. It was absolute perfection, plain and simple, and had the HEA that I was worried might never come when I first picked up this book.

 I don’t know what to say about this book. Was I expecting something amazing? No. Was I still expecting better? Yes. I got this because it was on sale, and I’m not sure I should’ve paid even what I did for it. It would’ve been so much better if it were more drawn out. It felt like the author got bored of the story and just wanted to finish it towards the end. The end was so rushed. Like she tried to tie up all the loose ends quickly. Their relationship was so slow and steady throughout then in last hour and it’s super fast. Wish it was drawn out and it’d be so much better.

I don't actually know why I read this- I don't usually read books like this. The plot itself was very dark, rough, yet intriguing; it was addictive watching the characters unravel each other's darkness and finding the light from it. However, the writing style was a bit hit or miss for me. At times, the author had me in the palm of her hand, but then there would be overused phrases and repetitive words (the author loves the word ‘shunt’ for some reason) and clichés that made reading the book less enjoyable. Also I wish the ending was more dramatic. But overall, I liked the story!

I think I  just like Jade Wests writing style. The tropes were good for me and I loved all the mystery and drama. The characters were very lovable. Though I wish there was more day to day from fmc

What I didn't like was the sheer volume of the word 'Shunt.'
