this book is supposed to be dark and twisted, and it definitely was. i gave it 4 stars because some of the twists were pretty predictable - still a good read. please again check TW, this won’t be for everyone (SA, dub con, etc.). they’re manipulative for sure, but i knew they weren’t going to be great because this is *supposed to be dark.*
i felt really grossed out about her uncle, it was my least favorite part… even though the author knows how to write a good spicy scene. idk. blegh. i know they aren’t at all blood related in any way, but it still was just ewwie LOL
