Please heed the content warnings. It was very predictable and followed the typical dark romance plot lines. Which is fine IF you have a good plot. The idea for the plot was there, but it was horribly predictable. I guessed about 95% of the “big reveals” about a quarter into the book. The spicy scenes got boring fast. If you’ve got some time, it’s a fine read, but if your tbr looks like mine, wait on this one. I definitely had to make myself keep reading.

More fucked up than I anticipated but good nevertheless. The content warnings for this go crazy lmfao. Did almost stop reading once or twice because of how weird it got, but I still.....enjoyed it....and kept coming back??? Sure hope this didn't awaken anything in me. Read this if you like pain during sex

I loved this. Dark and tantalizing, mysterious and heart felt, desperation and obsession. Check trigger warnings ⚠️ this is not for the faint of heart nor for those looking for a fluffy romance. This was truly captivating and I was lost to the world around me as I read well into the wee hours of the morning. It kept me up at night, thinking about it.
