It was to rapey for me. I remember skimming this book ages ago and everyone was talking about it so I thought I'd read it properly. 
It just made me really uncomfortable. It wasn't romantic at all it was scary.

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

I can enjoy some pretty dark stuff that makes you have to suspend your feminism to enjoy it.  And the author's forward doesn't obscure anything about what's in the book. She says plainly this is a morally black MMC and the TWs include non con. So i cant complain that i was curious anyways and that's what i found. Dead dove - don't eat, and all that. 

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

women shaking and crying while they're face fucked against their will on pain of being either anally raped or being thrown off a cliff or both. 

Taking all of this author's books off my TBR and avoiding all romance recs from anyone who recommends them in the future.

** spoiler alert ** note to self: i technically have finished this book but i'm adding it to my reads this year as a reward for making it past 60%. this book only works if you read this from the point of view of someones who has never had a human encounter ever. its like an AI program was feed every cheesy bad boy book/tv show every made and then told to write a book with theses tropes, villain main H, non con and alpha male dumassery. every character is over the top and don't react in a way most people would to an event/problem/conversation. , the main h is dumb and never makes a smart decision and the plot is not believable or logical in anyway but if thats what you like to read then you'll love this book. anyways i'll see if i finish the book. never trusting booktok again :)
