The Kraken's Sacrifice by Katee Robert
Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.
I was having a lot of fun for the first like 25% and then I slowly realised I was not having fun anymore
I had high hopes for this book especially since I really enjoyed the first in the series, but this straight up sucked for me. The MMC was neglectful and abusive and the FMC put up with it because of past abuse and seeing his actions as normal and to be expected
Also maybe this is just me reading it wrong, but the CWs at the start of the book really made it seem like abuse/neglect was all in the past (like in the first book) and not literally a key plot point. I guess this is supposed to be a dark romance? Maybe?? I just feel like that was not what was on the tin, especially since at the beginning of this book (just like in the first book) there is SUCH a heavy emphasis on the fact that no harm will come to the FMC
