This is a VERY dark book. With Many triggers, please check trigger warnings before reading. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. The romance although dark, was sizzling!

It’s dark but doesn’t really push any interesting boundaries. I found it very repetitive, and think it could’ve been about 200 pages shorter.
