I decided to read this book to fit a prompt for Get A Clue Readathon hosted by Rainy Blue Reads on Booktube! This book fit the prompts glass of the cover and intimidating read.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I haven't been much of a romance reader over the years...I'm not exactly a fan of insta love and forced happy endings so I've stayed away from the genre over year years...
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about a dark romance....and I was very surprised that I didn't hate this book...I honestly enjoyed the storyline! Am I a dark romance girlie? I don't know if I would take it that far...but I may dabble a bit more in the future!!
Is James the book boyfriend of my dreams? Absolutely not! Was this relationship incredibly toxic yes... But James has a story and I wanted to see it play out! I was not disappointed. I was intrigued by the characters and I wanted to see if James got his revenge....
In the end were the big reveals life shattering? No...honestly I kind saw them coming in the end...But this story was enjoyable and I may consider giving another book in this series a try in the future!
