(4⭐️/3🌶)

Well, I've been expecting these books to be darker, and this one went there. Definitely darker than the other 3 I have read (though I am reading out of order based on my library's availability). The MCs are traumatized, the situation is bleak, and their actions/reactions are on the dark side of gray, if not totally into the dark. But somehow I still ended up liking both of them and their character development journey felt believable.
