Definitely lots of triggers (which it makes in the beginning) and I had a hard time with some of them because I had been through similar or the same, but overall the book was so good and I loved how H.D. Carlton represented those things so well

truly, everything everyone ever said about this book is true. it’s so steamy, dark & twisty, scary, and has a LOVE STORY?!?! shut up. so good. i truly was panicking through the last quarter of the book. i couldn’t put it down. i couldn’t pull myself away from it. and i still ended the book warm and happy. the roller coaster thar is this book, is so worth every emotion you will feel throughout. 

the spooky-ooky element, is so pointedly and perfectly placed throughout to keep you so interested that you just HAVE to keep reading. you’ve just got to know what’s going on. it leads you on such a wild ride. absolutely amazing. 

the love story, started off so iffy for me, but i was desperate for it to work. the epilogue just fills me with so much joy, to know how much the characters develop. so heartwarming 🥹 

THE SPICE?! shut up. 12 stars. bar set. phenomenal.

Assault, a misunderstanding of marine biologists and a lot of spice that could’ve been kinky if there was any consent involved…but instead was just cringey and super gross. I kept hoping for a twist wherein the MC kills this absolutely rapey “love interest” but nah… she ends up with him. Big nope energy.
