Cringey alpha male lead, but the spice isn’t bad!

This was the first dark romance book I read and at first, I liked it … but as I continued reading, the main male mc is very red flag and hypocritical. certain adult scenes were questionable when it came to consent and while that may be some people’s cup of tea … it’s not mine. really uncomfortable. i also really don’t like how the male mc is an advocate for human trafficking but is also a creep towards women he likes. weird. 

The writing style was enjoyable though.

1.0

Basically a glorification of stalking, sexual assault and rape. Furthermore the main character is annoyingly stupid (like who tf stays alone in a creepy house far from civilization if you're getting stalked?) and the stalker is a hypocrite (I mean, he's the leader of an organisation that's saving girls from sex trafficing but at the same time he's tormenting and raping another girl, just because he's obsessed with her?)...
Generally, I can deal with stalking, sexual assaut etc. in a book, however, romanticizing that? Absolutely not!

Was mildly disappointed with this book. It's mainly a constant rate fantasy. I did like the mix of ghost story, murder mystery, romance the genre had to it.
