ninjasstatus's review against another edition

I should have known from the opening scene that this book would not be for me. It was like the author asked the question "How much trauma can I put my main character through?" And then just ran with it. PLEASE check the trigger warnings. I like smutty books, but this was like graphic horrible events one after the other. I tried skimming/jumping ahead at one point and then after like the 3 such scene that I was better off picking up another book.

Literally the worst book ever written, don't waste your time reading something marketed as some cool pirate adventure story when it's just some disgusting r-pe fantasy, and the fetishization of queer men. No one in this book actually likes each other, they just like power and power dynamics.

🚩🚨 red flags galore!!! Immensely hot to read and the plot was great as well, but be warned that it has dark themes at hand.

THIS BOOK GAVE ME WHIPLASH! I loved so much of this book even though it was graphic and rough to read, but I couldn’t get over the ending. It took a turn I thought was too coincidental and too easily accepted, I just couldn’t get onboard with it. However, the pacing is perfection and the plot keeps you on your toes. 

Bennett is a fierce fabulous female heroine and honestly I loved her so much. BUT THESE MEN YALL…. BIGGEST TRASH PILE DUMPSTER FIRES omg I wanted them to go away and leave her in peace. 



HUGE TW for Rape and Sexual Assault
