I had seen this book all over TikTok and it seemed really polarizing with some people loving and some hating it and DNFing it, after reading it, I totally get it. This one is DEFINITELY not for everyone and for sure don't let your children take a peek. This one takes some dark turns so make sure to check all trigger warnings before giving it a go.

Roxy owns a dive bar and lives in the underside of the city. She has been through some shit and come out the other side stronger. Then, her dad sells her to the most powerful gang in the city to pay his debts. What starts as a kidnapping quickly turns into something... else. The steam was super steamy but the story was also interesting and I always wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen.

The one thing I had to overlook was the typos and weird formatting in a few places. This is a self-published book so you just have to expect things like that and move on. Compared to lots of others I've picked up, it was few and far between that I found a typo.

This book counts for Popsugar 2022 for a #booktok recommendation.
