This is my first dip into the dark romance world and I found myself falling for the mmc whilst he was being an asshole so maybe I need therapy ?

I did find that it was quite slow at the beginning however it did pick up and I was hooked by the end .

I wasn’t aware this book switched perspectives throughout - usually I don’t like that kind of format, but I found both perspectives kept my attention well. Both of the main characters plots stand really well by themselves outside of the “romance” as well. Lots of mixed feelings on this book, but kept me wondering what happened next regardless
