I would honestly think you should find out for yourself. It's a good book and I'd definitely read again.muccia's review against another edition

look. this is a vv conflicting book. It IS NOT for everyone. It IS problematic. It IS aggressive and dark and twisted. It IS NOT a fun little fairy tale.
All that being said, I actually really liked it and as much as I can obviously see the issues, it made me feel something. A lot of somethings. It had me questioning a lot of things such as - should I maybe be in therapy? should I be arrested for listening to this in public? should I share my location with everyone that I know in case I’m kidnapped and thrown into the human trafficking underbelly of the world?
look I can see why people have issues with this - is it borderline torture porn? Kind of. Is there an extreme lack of consent? Absolutely at first, without a doubt.
This book has more trigger warnings than any book I’ve ever read, but I think if you go into it knowing what it is, you’re less likely to be appalled and you’ll take it with a grain a salt.

Other than the literal rape that goes on all throughout the book the character story is so bad. It dosent make sense! why would zade vow to protect women but rapes one? like hello?! The language used to describe is so boring and the events aren’t entertaining. The rape scenes, literally could have been good if it was approached in the proper way with the proper care and aftercare with consent. The main character developed mixed feelings because she liked it since it felt good (as sex does)that what happened was alright. Which is so wrong! I’ve also heard people defending this book saying “that’s kink shaming” CNC is a kink which stands for consensual non-consent, which requires consent hence the name. In my opinion, there is no justifying it and this is not dark romance. It’s just full of rape.
People may read and think this kind of stuff is “hot” and acceptable which is really dangerous. I’ve heard so many underage readers reading this book because it is “spicy” and because of the hype on social media.
I literally cannot explain with words how bad this book is. Please save your money!
