Please please look at the content warnings before reading this book. 
It’s horrible but weirdly addictive, like I want to stop but can’t

I’m going to be honest with you - this is not a good book. In fact at best the treatment of women in this is fucking disgusting. But am I going to read the next one? Hell yeah.

This book is dark. But still manages to be compelling. 

Draws on inspiration from various mythology but Hutchins makes it her own, the storyline mostly gets interesting in the second half of the book. 

Enemies to lovers but actually enemies. Is this a bully romance? 😂
