Anyhoo for most part I enjoyed, though I did have one main problem with the book that is just a personal preference. We've been given a badass killer of a woman who hunts down monstrous men and then made her a sub in a dom/sub sexual relationship. It was all consentual and they were both happy and I'm not saying it's not necessarily unrealistic, just that I think it's a missed opportunity. I think she should have been the dom or that they could have at least role reversed. I'm not a fan of the super strong independent woman just needing the right man to make her submissive trope.
