This one was not for me. I’ve read a decent amount of dark books so it’s not that I just don’t like the genre, but I guess I just prefer when there’s something relatable or redeeming about the characters. In this book, they aren’t lovable at all. The plot was obvious. I kept thinking there would be a surprise, some sort of twist, but there never was. If you’re not here for the plot at all, no judgement lol, I’ll say the sex scenes were a let down for me as well. It’s RH, but there’s no threesomes? There’s knife and blood play, so if that’s what really gets you going then maybe you’ll be excited about this one, but other than that it’s nothing special.
