holy. fucking. shit. 
i knew going into this that it was going to be a very heavy, intense book but even though i read dark romances no problem i did have to stop a couple times and just sit there and process. 

if you decide to read this book PLEASE DEAR LORD read the trigger warnings, i’ll list them below. 

****MAY BE CONSIDERED SPOILERS*****

trigger warnings: 
❌ Rape
❌ Abduction
❌ Physical Abuse
❌ Thoughts of Suicide 
❌ Victim Blaming (i don’t know if this counts as a trigger, but i’m sure that it would bother a lot of people who have the previous triggers stated)

this book is more than just the trigger warnings though, and while it has romance the underlying message is so much more than that. 
the characters went through A LOT just with their trauma and then we see the after effects on how they chose to navigate through the trauma and how they learned to grow through it as well. 
this book did have the “sisters ex” trope, which normally i steer clear from, but i feel like with this book specifically it didn’t bother me as much - especially finding out more things about melody as the book progressed. 
i found the epilogue to be very sweet, i feel like it was what was needed after such an intense book and wrapped up Dean and Cora perfectly.
