To Bleed a Crystal Bloom by Sarah A. Parker

1.0

I finished the book, barely but I'm not sure I'm too happy about it. Aside form a very questionable and toxic relationship shown in the book, there are several things that infuriate me. There is no world building, we are told to just roll with everything as it's presented, but there is no explanation or background to half of this stuff. I know the book is trying to be spicy, I get it. But why the hell all any context of a scene or it's weight is thrown out of the window the second anything sexual happens? And then when it's finished suddenly the characters remember something horrific just happened, just like that? The main protagonist tries to be independent and capable, but the second the male character even appears she looses her mind...

I'm sorry but this book isn't it, not for me at least.
