It honestly took me a little bit to get into this one. For the first 50 pages or so I found the writing style to be overly descriptive in a way that didn't add to the story. However, once the story got going, I didn't mind the writing style as much.
The plot was easy to follow and compelling with a satisfying number of twisted and turns. I definitely struggle with reading the more cruel and sadistic characters but that might just be a preference. Also, if you're not into the Alpha Male trope you might not enjoy the romance as much (it's not my favourite).
I'll still be reading the rest of the series though! Everyone tells me it gets better from here.
