Listen. I like a lot of toxic, dark romances. But with those, you can usually get why the characters feel the way they feel. These characters were all over the place. 

Also I stg if they say each others names in the dialogue one more time 😂😩

But hey, I finished it. So. There’s that. 
Ok spoilers

- The best part of this book was the non-cannon fan fic at the end. 
- Leo is obviously the better choice. Honestly glad he didn’t get stuck with Tem at the end.
- Tem cannot make up her mind. Her motivations and emotions were all over the place. Caspen is abusive af and not in a redeems himself eventually way. 
- broken pelvis? Nbd just keep fucking. I literally cannot. 
- Mostly annoyed that they had a perfect opportunity for a why choose and wasted it. Whatever, Leo deserved better. 
- The most unhinged thing about this book is that it’s the first time I have ever EVER thought to myself “man, I wish there was less sex”

DO NOT LET THE BAD REVIEWS SWAY YOUUUU!!! Read. This. Book.

I’ll be the first to admit. I don’t read fantasy that often. But this? Oh man. I think I’ve just changed something in me.

You will not regret it. It’s amazing.

Definitely overhyped. Was it good? Yes it absolutely was! Read this after seeing so many reviews and reactions on social media about how this was “unhinged” and “you wouldn’t be the same person after reading this book” and while it was definitely different.. it wasn’t that bad. Maybe that says more about me?? I’d say 3.5 ⭐️

My main thought about this book is "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
