I have such mixed feelings about this book.
To begin with, CHECK ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS BOOK. If there is a red flag as a book, this is it. It contains every single triggering trope you could think of, and that’s part of the reason why I have mixed feelings about the read. I love a good dark romance, I read a lot of them… but at times this one felt like the author just included every trigger to make it more sensational without it really being needed to add to the storyline. The book also felt incredibly long, with a lot of it being repetitive and imo could have easily been cut down without losing the main storyline
On the positive side, I will say, this story’s ending had a twist I did not see coming and because of that my rating is slightly better than neutral.
If you’re looking for a pitch black, the darkest concepts out there read, then this is the story for you.
