 First and foremost, if you're going to read this book, I beg you, PLEASE, read trigger warnings. I shouldn't have to remind you since, if you're reading this review, you probably already know this book deals with dark topics.

Anyways, most of the smut was hot, especially Hook's voice actor, but it did get a bit awkward at times. Maybe I've been reading too much fanfiction. Who knows. The plot was amazing, the tense parts actually made me feel tense, and the plot twist actually surprised me. I'm going to continue reading this series, Emily McIntire proved herself to be worth my time.

Anyone who looks at this man and unironically wants someone like him needs psychiatric help. 
With that said, I understand he is a villain and thoroughly enjoyed the book. Although, as a lesbian reading about his perceptions of women made me sick to my stomach.
