i am so glad that it is over.

this book was anything but good and for the first time since i started making notes for my cr there is a list of things that were so wrong. and the list is very long.

and so instead of writing it all down i will simply copy and paste everything i wrote in the moment i read it. it is filled with spoilers so don’t read it unless you don’t mind them.

but basically - if you don’t want to read the detailed reaction - here is a summary
the guy she ends up with rapes her multiple times but she enjoys it while saying no so i guess that’s fine (wtf). her step uncle is a pedo for fucking a freshly eight teen year old girl. she doesn’t want the youngest one basically. everything is just fucked up here


notes:

why tf is she underage? she could have been at least 19 or something and in the will it could be stated that she needs to be a certain age until she can get her inheritance money or something. there was a way around it. this girl is my age and banging a dude over 40. but this is a pattern in pd books. take winter and damon.

sir, you are thinking about a seventeen year old girl and you having sex. and then you have sex with her few weeks later at the age of 40 something just after she turns 18. you are not right in the head

literal sex assault when he comes back from a hunt, he needed to be stopped by his brother since he wasn’t hearing all the no from her, and yet she still ends up with him 

trying to get him to imagine he’s fûcking his dead lover from 20 years ago while they are having sex 

her - gets injured and cries as it hurts 
them (two literal brothers) - it would be a good time to get her to sleep with us

i don’t think brother x girl x brother is nice. it’s weird but that’s just my opinion

all the time they were having sex her arm and stitches didn’t hurt but suddenly when she wakes up she actually feels the pain. like what the hell?

she gets called a slut and spit on for sleeping with one man yet they are having orgies in their rooms every night. make it make sense

bro he calls her a cunt and a slut for no damn reason. he literally got sucked off in a barn and she watched and once he sees her escaping from his dad’s room he just straight up writes the word slut on her forehead and spits in her

yet another sexual assault when she’s sleeping. she could have chosen any of the three and she chose this one?

so much sexual assault in this book from ONE GUY and she ends up with him. just how. there was no romance at all

Fuck this book, chapter 6 has sexual assult that alluded to putting more fault in the fl than the man who assulted her because she ~secretly wanted it~. Literally made me want to simultaneously barf and punch the author in the face. How can you write that, especially as a women, when all too often rape and sexual assult is justified by men bc actually even though the women was sending "no" signals or screaming at me to stop I know she really wanted it. 🤢🤢 Gave up reading it after this because I don't even care to see if the author fixes this mistake later. On top of this, the uncle character is such a creep, he's literally double her age and yet the author writes in multiples scenes, even from his perspective, where he is creating sexual tension with her, AS A MINOR. Disgusting, don't read, how does this book have more than 3 stars.

… maybe because I’m 30 and no stranger to 🌶️🌶️ books nor my own sexy experiences, however this book is just off. I have no triggers , however after 6 chapters in I could tell that this book is just riding off of a shock factor, rather than make sense and have a flow. And there’s just something about “as soon as she turns 18, let’s fuck her” type of vibe that I’m just not all on board the choo choo train. DNF

this book is supposed to be dark and twisted, and it definitely was. i gave it 4 stars because some of the twists were pretty predictable - still a good read. please again check TW, this won’t be for everyone (SA, dub con, etc.). they’re manipulative for sure, but i knew they weren’t going to be great because this is *supposed to be dark.* 

i felt really grossed out about her uncle, it was my least favorite part… even though the author knows how to write a good spicy scene. idk. blegh. i know they aren’t at all blood related in any way, but it still was just ewwie LOL
