Ward by Zoe Blake
1.0

This book gives dark romance a bad name. This is not a romance Richard is not morally gray. Richard is morally black. Richard is an abuser. There are not BDSM themes in this book because what happens in this book is non-consensual. Not even in a fun CNC way, just straight up horrifying terrifying abuse. As somebody who occasionally read some pretty fucked up shit and gets into it this book made me nauseous primarily because the author is also gaslighting the reader into Believing that while Lizzie is on page attempting suicide she is also happy and in love? This book is trash. And I don’t know if I’ll ever read another Zoe Blake again
