I really enjoyed this one!! I seen this on booktok and thought it sounded really good!! I loved Emilia and Vicious. Although I will admit, vicious is a little problematic at the start. But it definitely gets explained why later in the book. I really enjoyed his charter arc and redemption. He deserves that after everything vicious went through.
My only real issue with this book. Besides the problematic elements of vicious as a character early in the book. I read this book for the smut. While the smut was written well. I kinda had higher expectations for it. I still enjoyed it though but the smut did leave me a little disappointed. But I think that’s more my fault than the book itself.
Overall I did really enjoy this one and I wanna read the rest of the series.
