Really somewhere between a 3 and 4. The plotting could have been smoother and at times less rushed.

I don't get some of the critique this book gets for being the genre it is and happening to get caught in the mainstream… Dark romance is not for everyone and that is okay. No one's claiming it to be classic literature, and that's okay too. I respect the authors(and dark romance being women dominant!!) who deeply respect that their art is NOT reality and just art—something that doesn't always logically makes sense. Frankly there are other mainstream books out there that deserve the heat XD

Not for the fair hearted I’ll tell ya that!!!! Great book!! Not really into writing reviews so this will be short lol!
But could not put it down! There were parts where I was literally shocked… SHOCKED to say the least.. but it’s great!
On to the next!!

What in the great aunt Gemima was that ending??

Apart from the fact that this book was so severely messed up, it was still so damn intriguing that putting the book down felt literally impossible.

Also Zade can fucking get it.... I'll leave my door open for him lmao

consent in non existent in this book

Never thought I'd love a book more.

This is my top read in 2024. It's riveting, shocking, and SPICY.
It's a LOT spicier than I anticipated but I loved every second of it.
Off to Hunting Adeline.
