I hated this book. It took me DAYS to get through even though it's only a 4.5 hour read. I had to stop so many times because of how cringe and poorly written it is.

If you actually read high quality books you won't like this. The characters are flat, it's all telling no showing, and we're somehow supposed to find misogyny hot? 

It's so gross reading about this barely 18 year old girl have sex with all these older men who trat her terribly and we're supposed to find it hot? By the end of the book the main male character hasn't done anything to earn the heroine's forgiveness or affection yet she just gives it to him. She is a naive child. 

This book is a thinly veiled size and "bad boy" kink. Additionally, the harem aspect is not fleshed out at all.

I held zero sympathy with Pan at all throughout the book and I have no intention of reading any other books in this series. It was so predictable and barely entertaining. I almost feel bad about how much I hated this book. It feels like punching down.
