1.5
As a fiction book, 1 star because the writing read like a fanfiction from 2015 where y/n gets adopted/sold/kidnapped to [insert alpha male type men that teens drool over].
As an erotica, it really depends on what you're into but I'd give it a 4.5 (If you know me, and you read this, please erase this from your memory).
That said, I'm reviewing this as a "normal" book because that's how it was recommended to me.
The first half of the book reads like a pubescent teen boy's fever sex dream written by a 15 year old on wattpad.
The second half feels like the author suddenly remembered she was writing a book not a compilation of erotica. Funnily enough, I preferred the book when it was just violent sex.
The book has inconsistencies all over the place and truly is not an enjoyable experience if you're reading it as a "normal" book.One moment Roxy has a gun under her pillow, the next she shoots and kills a man with it, then she says she needs training, and (after not showing any training) shoots and kills a bunch of people. What.
The easiest way to read this book is to imagine you're reading a mafia romance book on wattpad.
This is probably the worst book I'll willingly read this year, and that's saying something.
Not a spoiler but, don't click on it if you don't want to change your perception of me,that .5 is for the fact that this book contained most of my kinks (it did miss out a few but eh, we move).

Honestly this book has some intense scenes, some of the worst I've read. I do not recommend if you have a weak stomach/are not desensitised to gore and gore descriptions/are sensitive to hard kinks, like knife play and dubious consent.
