I can deal with dark romance and some of the taboo topics but I feel at times she went too hard. I also felt that there was no real story, just a lot of awkward and at times gross spice scenes. Penelope Douglas seems more into the 'shock factor' then actual story line or plot.
It was like a train wreck though and I just had to see how it finished. The writing itself was bland and repetitive. These characters were constantly licking their 'parched lips' for example. It was just armature.
This is definitely not a book I will be recommending to others or reading again. I don't quite know why it's taking the #booktok world by storm.
*NOTE* Credence is a full length, stand-alone romance suitable for listeners 18+.
