It was an unusual book for me to read and i’m not quite sure if dark romance is going to be a genre i’ll be reading anytime soon again (except for the following part of this book) but i enjoyed reading it. The plot and the characters (adeline not so much) were interesting to read and it did not get boring. I liked not only having the stalling as the plot, but also a murder mystery, even though i did not find the latter very thrilling. The TW should be taken very serious though, that is also one of the reasons i might not love this book as much as other readers did. I don’t love the lack of consens in (sexual) acts, nor do i enjoy reading sexual scenes over and over again, what i found somewhat exhausting to read. I also dislike constant swearing in books. Nontheless, i am excited for the second part!
