lavenderchamomile's review against another edition
Check trigger warnings (I’m gonna add “cult” as one here as well)
Take all those trigger warnings, and imagine a book that pretends like a super sexy man, who can barely communicate without getting extremely angry, solves all of the heroines trauma and past. With sex. Hmm. I just don’t buy it at all

I enjoyed Mae's discovery of the world and her coming to terms with everything she has been through. I think Rider and Mae really helped each other in ways no one else around them could.
I couldn't get into Styx and Mae's love story. He didn't understand her in the slightest and she's been so traumatized the first sign of kindness sticks with her. If I'm being honest neither of them tried to understand the other.
The language throughout the book was a huge no for me. I didn't appreciate how the men talked about or treated the women- even calling the women they loved 'bitches'. Maybe this is a normal thing in MC style books but it definitely didn't work for me.
Overall I don't think this book was for me.
