It was pretty good, but I felt like it was just a tad too long and got boring and wordy in some places. I really liked the mystery element that was added to it and it was hard to put down close to the end.
This book was just awful. The first two were wonderful and this one felt like the author just didn't care. It was a mess, a horrible mess. I can't believe the trilogy ended this way.

I liked the idea of this storyline, and I feel like the filmmakers did an excellent job of making this palatable. The writing is just trash, and not because of the content, the romanticized version of BDSM sort of works, although I think it's completely unrealistic. The grammar, sentence structure, and repetitive nature of certain words and phrases was absolutely off putting. It's as if this guy forgot that thesauruses existed and simply copied and pasted from one love scene to another, like we wouldn't notice. I get that this started out as Twilight fan fiction, but did it have to digress in writing style this far? If you've seen the movie, do yourself a favor and call it good. There's not more insight to be had by bothering with the books.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Toxic relationship, Schizophrenia/Psychosis
Not worth it. Go watch movie instead.
2.5 stars. This book was almost pointless and it was definitely longer than necessary. The sex scenes were a bit redundant making them a snooze.
I recommend reading the first book and second book, skip the third.

I MADE IT THROUGH THE SERIES!
There's very little character development. Christian eases up a little, but when he's angry - he's a lot worse. Just angry a little less often. Ana stands up for herself a little bit, but she always backs down when Christian starts sexing her up.
Can I just say I was absolutely furious with the scene near the end when Christian storms off, gets drunk, and comes home trashed? What he said to Ana is SERIOUSLY THE MOST INAPPROPRIATE OVERREACTION I HAVE EVER READ. SERIOUSLY. I would've bitchslapped him SO fucking hard and kicked him out. And then what he did after? Like at the bar and then when he was home? NOPE-ING RIGHT OUT OF THERE. I was so mad I rage-texted my boyfriend about it.
I feel like I should get a medal.
