2.5

Made the mistake of starting this late at night and finished it at 3 am.

I didn’t know if I could continue because one of the first sexual things to happen is a dream about SA and I was not prepared for that.

But this is a really good book if you want to feel like the FMC, because I was as lost as Winter for the most part.

I think the cliffhanger/plot twist is predictable but the author does so much to throw you off that you constantly question yourself.

Also im pretty sure I hated Adrian for most of the book, but looking back, im now questioning everything that he did and how he acted with Winter.

Had to come back and re-rate this because I actually cannot handle Adrian. There’s dark romance and then there’s writing abuse under the guise of being dark.
