dark tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Picked this up to see why booktwt was talking about this and… I’m just trying to give it 0 stars… man was this book fucking awful. Side note, the “dub-con” and “cnc” tags do not apply to actual rape and masking it as if the victim “enjoyed it” is not dark romance.

I think one of the reviews below had the perfect description- WTF did tiktok make me read 😂

I feel I kind of forced myself to read this one, I wanted to give up cause it kept getting worse around 20-30% (just again not my kind of book but heard good things). I pushed through and I do think it got better hence the two stars rather than the one star. But yeah it also started dragging by the end etc etc so just not on the top of my recommendations for the year put it that way. Also feel the switch of Grayson was really fast he went from very angry and aggressive of wanting to hurt violet to all of a sudden in love.

The mmc was god awful. The chemistry was non existent and didn’t makeup for the red flags. I only finished it because of the narrator.
