That was a dumpster fire.
Generally I don't hate dark romance, but I have never seen a more powerless and pitiful main character than Silvia. It's not that she's unlikable, but the constant physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, lack of control over anything in her life, combined with little to no respect she gets from Keir (and even Gil) is too much. The cherry on top of it all is that she is not only forced to become the thing she hates the most, but to also be tricked into a leadershi  position. I think the world building had potential, but I don’t trust this author's judgement enough to read the next book. Definitely will not be recommending.

p.s. the order ain't even make sense.
In a company,  if a worker gets sexual assaulted their not going to continue the abuse just to make sure that they aren't lying. They need some damn HR
