 Really disappointed with this one.
Sadie is one of my auto buy authors for dark/mafia etc romance but this paranormal outing was just not it hunny.
Minimal plot, weak worldbuilding, insta lust, unnecessary bully romance, pathetic FMC, undistinguishable MMCs, teacher/student privilege abuse. The list goes on about how weak i found this. It was too slow, too dragged out, not entertaining enough.
Fantasy gets a lot of stick but there really is an art to writing it that not everyone can do. Just moving your setting to include magical creatures does not make something magical and it really upset me that none of what i like about Sadie's writing was really prevalent here outside of the smut
