I knew this book had some bad rep. I obviously knew it was dark romance. My issue is the Q*non conspiracy issues this book is absolutely riddled with.
And this is a re-released, edited version? Did they edit out blood libel? Why does a smut book even have this in it to begin with?
I signed up for the dark romance, the stalker, the dub-con/r*pe, that’s all what I picked this book up for. And it did that well enough...
What in the hells is this plot? A super hot sexy hacker guy best in the world that saves women and children from tr*fficking but also…stalks/r*pes a woman and has a WEIRDLY PLACED DDLG fet!sh?
Every single second of this book spent on this weird politicians and upper class are Devil worshiping p*dophiles conspiracy that tries to paint Zade in a good light…WHY
Firstly, I signed up to read a book about a creepy stalker, don’t endear me to him! I don’t want a little anti-hero boy with a heart of gold, I want a repulsive b*stard!
Secondly, it isn’t even endearing. It’s…it’s f*ckin’ weird. Once the doll thing happened, I just started skipping entire pages that didn’t have smut because I was over it.
Why was the doll there. What did that serve.
I hated 9/10 of this book.
But I will be reading the next one, thank you
