Does It Hurt? by H.D. Carlton

dark mysterious fast-paced

3.0

Mystery, trauma, murder. LOTS of TWs. I hate read half this book, not because of the writing quality or structure, but because I actually hated the toxic personality of the two MCs. And then the second half I just sped through because I could predict exactly how it would go from there (and I was right). A lot of toxic abusive self hate trauma bonding between the FMC and MMC.. they do end up growing and “recovering” with each other but wow.
