"Not all girls like the hero. I was fated to fall in love with the villain." 💕

Dark, Insta love and zero consent... But still weirdly an enjoyable read. 🌶️ was 🥵 but definitely a bit uncomfortable at points and I don't know if it was just because I was listening to it but it was getting to be a bit cringe the amount of times "tight little c**t" was used in an awkward uncomfortable way and I'm Scottish... We use that word all the time! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm not sure where the line needs to be drawn between what is rape and what is dark romance and I know it's fictional, but I definitely feel like this could be really triggering for some folks.

Overall tho a decent read, 3/5 for me and I'm now onto the next one... 🖤

The writing style is enjoyable and well done. However, the first half of the book sets up for major character development and growth in a dark mafia type college romance setting, but when it comes to the tense emotional moments at the end of the journey (those realization or character change moments) the dialogue and character writing becomes contrived. For the genre this is both par for the course and on the better side. I enjoyed the main female lead and her darkness, but I wished for more from the male lead; he is quite base line mafia romance demon king bad boy but leans towards psycho vs romantic. The big family moments which solve all problems between the side characters and our main leads are also contrived and at some point the friend group becomes a relic of the first half. It was fun for what it is and the drama between gangs/tension between other couples will keep me reading the series.
