There is also bestiality in this book, I don’t know why that’s not an option for the content warnings, it definitely made me sick.

Simile a Tiffany McDaniels. Molti momenti wtf, specialmente alla fine. Primo libro molto scorrevole, incalzante come ritmo e plot; secondo libro meno interessante, ultimo libro ancora meno. Peccato.
