It just made me really uncomfortable. It wasn't romantic at all it was scary.

renfyre's review against another edition
But badly written dark stuff? The grammar is atrocious so that on every page there is some awkward line that doesn't technically mean what she clearly means to say. Where are her editors? The info dumping and absurd way people talk/ text to each other is beyond what i can stomach. Such overdramatic wattpad prose. These characters are young college students. So 18,19,20 years old. And I'm sorry but I know what 19 year Olds look like. I can't take any of this seriously. It's all so over the top with the secret societies and rival universities. But also it's USA vs. UK! And the Russian mob! And and and.
And while yes, Dead dove - don't eat. I am loath to see that dark romance, at least for fans of this series and its like, means romanticizing and sexualizing rape. Like on the page, no ambiguity about it, violent rape. With force and crying and threats of death if the FMC doesn't comply. And to use the whole "of well her body reacted to it so she secretly wants it" line of argument is just sick and frankly dangerous. Call me a prude, but I'm not turned on by
Taking all of this author's books off my TBR and avoiding all romance recs from anyone who recommends them in the future.
