The content doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I could handle darker. It does bother me that it's unnecessarily long and poorly written. Why does smut equal plot holes and over-explanations? I guess not all dark romances can be written by Anne Rice.

challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

3.5

I’m not really sure what I expected out of this book but I definitely expected it to be more wrapped around the main characters and their “relationship” and I expected it to evolve more at some point. I had a hard time with the blatant non consent between the two also and many times I caught myself thinking the characters were just idiotic. There was way too much r@pe, assault, child sacrifice involved. I get that it’s the plot around which one of the main characters “works” but this book was just crazy. It did keep me intrigued and wanting to know what happens next. That’s about all it has going for it for me. I already have book 2 and still want to know what happens next so I plan to read it but I’m very conflicted on this rating.

Just finished this on audio. It's a chaotic hot mess that's confusing, strange, disjointed and messily written, but somehow addicting enough to keep going. The cliffhanger at the end got me hooked, so here I am, diving into book two. Let's see if it gets better or if I'm just a sucker for punishment!
