Finished this in 24 hours, it’s that easy to read. It’s intense and definitely not for everyone. Trigger warnings up the wazoo. Also, it ends in a cliffhanger (which I hate).
I liked the characters, even though the way Jonah is described sometimes made me think he was a black-haired Duke Nukem.
The writing itself is not great, but it’s not awful either. It’s perfectly serviceable. The whole thing was pretty salacious but for some reason, I couldn’t fully connect with it. It felt like I was being kept at a distance as a reader.
