Not going to lie, I'm not used to dark romances, but I found this to be totally my jam. Though, this was a bit too short and it didn't allow for the proper development. Everything was a bit too glossed over and I wanted to see Ember's transformation to be something magnificent but either time/page constraint, or the writing, did not allow for that.
Most of the men could also have been really interesting but again, they were not properly given the time for the reader to actively care for them and overall, there was not enough finesse for the ambiance of the book to shine through.
I'd say that it was a decent read, with an incredible potential, and that, at least, it opened my eyes to the power of dark romance. I enjoyed how twisted and bloody everyone was. I wish I could rate it +4 but alas, the pacing and character development, while there, was not strong enough in my opinion.
