ravensalwaysreading's review against another edition

Some of the worst writing I have ever read, as well as insufferable characters, and terrible yet vanilla yet vile sex scenes. No wonder it's self published and "banned" as the authors note claims.

It doesn’t make sense.

The world’s most visible man is somehow skulking around in secret. If you’re going to make your MMC a stalker and a bad person who SA’s the FMC, don’t try to walk it back by having him save children from sex trafficking. Gross.

1 star for the chicken tenders.
