The logic, the romance...it sas something.
Surprisingly this book was not poorly written, but definitely not what I expected and lacking in the plot department.
Him
I thought this book would be mostly about monster smecks but actually the romance was the main storyline.
Spice: max. 2/5
Only reason this gained 1 star in the rating was because it actually made me cry...surprisingly...

Sara, at least at a couple of points in the story, seems like a badass firefighter with her head screwed on right. Unfortunately, that is not the case as she seems to be content with forgiving Pestilence for abusing her in some of the worst ways possible just because he's attractive.
As someone who enjoys a dark romance, I have found that there's a fine line between having a love interest whom you can understand the protagonist falling for, and someone who is basically unredeemable. The mental and physical abuse Sara is put through is vile, yet somehow she still falls for Pestilence just because he shows a few moments of regret (which is a common abuse strategy).
This was not the book for me.
