decided to retry now that i’ve read more dark romance. really wanted to like this but just didn’t care about the characters. didn’t feel pulled in by the storyline. lacking tension between the characters.

Ugh. Came back from a previous DNF with this book. This time I managed to finish. I could see the appeal this time around but... No. Just... No
Inmature MC all through, not good ML either. Story was trash. No good side characters. Only the spice could save this book, and I still have doubts about it.
