PSA: Your mental health matters. If this book is not for you, please PLEASE, stop reading the book as it's not for the faint of heart. I will be rating the spice as well, BUT it is only regarding towards the "dubious consent"
Spice 🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁/5
The grime and dark picked up pretty quickly right off the bat. I was warned multiple times about this. I thank my friends who have read it for warning me, and have read the trigger warnings. The story was pretty good, did I hoped for more....dark and twisted shit? Honestly, yes a little bit actually. I felt the plot was pretty straight to the point, though the dialogue/writing is still off to me. The over use of "yin/yang eyes" was too much though I get it since Zade has heterochromia eyes.
I also felt the climax g was a bit cringe at the end, a bit too much "like the movies" as Addie calls it. And the ending was pretty nice and left a bit of a cliffhanger for a character that I hope we get a book on.
