I enjoyed this book though I definitely should’ve read the warnings first. I knew it was dark but the smut was even darker! The mystery in this was amazing! Kept me wanting to read more. I think the romance was a little toxic but I was down for it anyway. (Some of the things he said / did would be unforgivable in my book.) Happy ending for the MC! It was looking bleak but that made it worth it!
