This first book in the series. The rest of them are Not worth the price of admission imo, but this one is a dark and sexy romance story that I think stands on its own legs. The back half of the book is loaded with triggering content though.

the book itself is good. The series takes a serious nosedive with the introduction of Rhysand.
