Don't bother reading this. Apart from finding several typos, this book was also not well written. The characters were contradicting themselves at each turn. There was barely any plot and no development of actually personalities. The treatment of the main character is literally just abusive and there are no redeeming qualities to her either.

tense fast-paced

2.0

a fast and entertaining reading but god the writing was hard to get into.. also i’m really not a fan of female main characters being SA’d just for their love interest to be all jealous and protective??
