rewriting review : he fucked her mom when he was younger aka her mom had an affaire with him and present day when her daughter got together with him her mom kept shoving it in her face
he only married her to spite the mom whom he was in love with
the fmc was so clueless so meek so forgiving
gross

Do not judge me okay, It’s been a rough few months and if terrible smuty books help than ✨ oh well ✨

Back to the book, okay I didn’t hate - I actually enjoyed it, hence me currently reading the second book. I like the characters, and Kal is lowkey, actually high key hot. Doctor Death hello!!!!!!!!

Obviously the writing isn’t stellar, it’s a kindle unlimited book. But for what type of book it is and the demographic it’s not horrible.

1 / 5 stars.

Yikes. DNFed at 10%.

I’m all for unhinged characters and dark romance—love that stuff! But this? Not really my vibe. If it’s your thing, that’s cool.

I just wish there had been more story buildup before the MMC telling me that his D stiffens at the sight of FMC in CHAPTER 3. What? Chapter 3?

Check out my highlights and notes, and you’ll see why I gave this a 1-star rating:

---

"My d*ck stiffens behind my slacks as Elena licks her plump lips, her soft eyes glued to the corpse in front of us."

Note: Calm down. We're at chapter 3.

---

"And I realize, as she peels that piece back, revealing the blood-soaked dress shirt beneath, that she wasn't sniffling -- she was smelling him."

Note: Huh???? Tf do you mean? He's dead!

---

"A shock of arousal jolts down my spine, hitting me like a bolt of lightning, singeing my bones."

Note: That's... sir, you're unwell. (this is after seeing her smelling the corpse.)

----

"Wants her to see what I'm capable of, and what happens to those who defy me."

Note: Capable of murder? Weird flex.

Writing and Flow wonderful, I really flew through it. Plot went nowhere 🫠 and everytime they could have talked they fucked. Loved it but it was one of those books that is "good but not great" 

3/5

Well I learned a little about myself and my icks from this one. Mom and daughter sleeping with the same guy is one of them

It doesn’t even deserve a rating. This book is the worst thing I’ve ever read.

this was like hades and persephone except we’re gonna make it uninteresting. sort of a weird mafia thing, an evil but actually good doctor thing, but not a lot of either of those but not a lot of actual personality from any of the characters either? not worth it
