To start off: I was super excited to read this book as I have begun diving into darker romances. That being said, this one was not my jam and it’s ok this kink wasn’t for me but it might be for someone else. So make sure to check the trigger warnings.
The first half of this book was really exciting if not really dark. However my problem with this book became the miscommunication amongst characters became so bad that I as a reader got confused. The convoluted plans didn’t make sense to me and then the reason why we didn’t go through with them made less sense. The stakes didn’t make sense nor did I know what they were half the time. Overall I found the story confusing and the fmc and unreliable narrator which I hate.
So this book was not for me unfortunately but I’m still thankful I got to be an arc reader.
