this book hooked me from the sentence to the last one and it was a very interesting read. apart from the wattpad stories i have read before, it’s safe to say that this is my first dark romance read. i usually find the genre disturbing because i don’t really like violence in my contemporary books.

this book was a good read, but there were some plot holes. i didn’t fall in love with nico as much as i expected to. he was still misogynistic somehow and to be honest, he really needs therapy. i also would’ve preferred if he groveled more because i didn’t think he groveled enough. on the other hand, i would’ve wanted to see more of elena’s family and her past— to dig deeper on why her father tried to sell her. i also wish i got to see more of adriana.

overall, it’s a great read, it just has some plot holes. if you want a book that will help you get out of a reading slump, i suggest to read this.
