This book is aggressively Hot Topic.
The target demographic for this book is emotionally immature millennial women who watch a lot of Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, and Supernatural who would go to Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights a BUNCH if they could. I'm not hating, I just feel like you know the exact type of person I'm talking about when I say that.
It's bad, but I liked it? The main character is annoying, and while it gets better from the first few chapters (in which she's a teenager), she never stops rambling. So if you like your protagonists to internally monologue for a minute before going "ugh why am I even thinking about this!?" every five pages, this book is for you.
Alternatively, if you're the type of person that gets put off by spelling errors, I can't recommend this book to you. It's riddled with them.
The author is not the best at posing flashbacks, and her sentence structure is not very diverse. The prologue reads like something I would've have written for Tumblr in 2010. But it's one of those books where it's like, "yeah, but I didn't hate it though." Making the love interest a Hellbeast named JARED was a choice. Catch me dead before I swoon over a book boyfriend named JARED.
Definitely for the girlies who like their men big and tough af but gentle and sweet with their women.
It's cringe. I can't recommend it. I got it for free, and I'll probably give the second book a swing with my next Kindle unlimited subscription. Side note: I just found out from other reviews that this is no where near the author's first book. More like her 30th. It's actually a spin-off series. The quality is just not there for someone that's published THAT much.
