A spicy short read 🫦🌶️

“You cannot run from me, because I will catch you. You cannot hide from me, because I will find you. I have smelt your scent, let it linger on my skin, you are imprinted in my memory.” 

I really liked the concept of this book! It was spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️ and very interesting at times. Other times I was losing interest. I took so long to read this because I kept starting and putting it down 🥴. I did not get the ending to be honest. I have questions but I’m not sure if I care enough to get answers for them. If you take out the smut it was okay. Even for a short smut filled book it could have been executed better, but this is my opinion! It was a super short read and If you just want to read a quick dark romance with spice and minimal plot. Then this might be for you!

This is definitely a dark read but its good and fast too. Its definitely not a book to read too far into but its cute and delivers exactly what it promises: dark smut with a hint of plot.

This book just made me depressed. I usually love books about death personified but this just didnt do it for me. Maybe it was because it was so short and didnt have much character building so i didnt feel a connection or attachment to any character. Liliths continuous grief and numbness and allowing her bf to basically use her for money and cheat on her really turned me off and she just let it happen. I felt icky
