2.0

I forced myself to not DNF this book. I understand that this book is supposed to be a dark romance, but this takes it a little too far in my opinion. The four MMC characters are all terrible people.

They threatened to kill the FMC and the MMC was going to let it happen for an injustice that they had no proof she committed.

The MMC emotionally manipulates the FMC constantly and every problem they have either gets brushed away with a weak apology or sex. I am stopping the series here.
