I enjoyed the last 20 pages of the book but the rest was hard to get through since I don't condone cheating in any way.

I didn't like the writing style and everything just felt a bit icky? 
Also this book is not a horror or thriller at all, I genuinely don't know why it's marketed like that. It's quite misleading 

 I only kept reading cus I hated the main characters and wanted them to not get their happy ending. 
This book is not what I expected and maybe just wasn't for me but the last 20 pages added an extra star to my rating

This book is well-written and interesting, but I didn’t warm to any of the characters. It is a book about sex magic and books, so if that sounds up your alley, I would give it a try.
