well that was terrible. i couldn't help but think about other works i've read which dealt with similar themes that were handled miles better. ALSO? not a single non-white character in this book. they're living in brooklyn and you think i'm supposed to believe that there's not a single POC in sight? yeahhh.. right..
i'll give it one thing tho, it was an easy read.

someone should've warned me this is 70% erotica, 25% toxicity, and 5% threadbare cult-related plot. because what the hell is this clusterfuck i just read.

p.s. aura and ruby still slaps, i guess

that was intense

actual trigger/content warnings for everyone who needs them (and not the bullshit “general trigger warning” the author gives at the start of the books): rape, pedophilia, statutory rape, misogyny, extreme internalized homophobia, drug use, religious cults

long story short; don’t read this. the characters are awful, aura is treated like an object and something that can be owned by every single person in this book, the relationship is terribly toxic and uncomfortable, the infodumps and writing are just so poor, and the author is literally unable to go a single chapter without the word “fuck” being used at least 10 times (seriously, please learn some other words to describe how your characters are feeling). oh, and the graphic descriptions of rape aren’t making it any better.

Holy shit, I don’t even know where to begin... Vibe was wow, just wow. I went in expecting one book and what I got was something completely different and utterly mind blowing. Liza did the damn thing!

The chemistry between Ruby & Aura is fucking amazing. Their relationship was gritty, toxic, and raw. Don’t let this being FF fool you, this is everything you could have want in a dark romance.

Y’all need to read this ASAP, it’s so worth putting off the rest of your TBR for!
