marib1301 's review for:
Lords of Pain
by Angel Lawson, Samantha Rue
DNF at book 3
This series was interesting….
I won’t be continuing it. Book 1 had some type of intrigue that made me curious enough to read book 2.
And book 2 was just plain bad. I tried to give book 3 a shot to see if it could be redeemed.
It can’t.
Look, I love a dark romance and I will never begrudge what someone enjoys reading. If this is your kind of thing and you derive enjoyment from it then by all means—go for it! Love that for you!! I do not judge
It just was not for me. I enjoy dark romance where there are dark things happening but not when the toxicity and violence is between the main couple(s), specifically violence from the men to the woman.
This is a book with crazy trigger warning and to be honest, I don’t think the list even covers it.
There is flat out, on the page, explicit R8p. Disguise it as whatever you want, but that is what it is. There is serious domestic violence, crazy manipulation, really unlikable MMCs. Like we get it, they all have their struggles but no one has had it worse than the FMC and she didn’t become a psycho. These boys are spoiled and maniacal and they have no good reason for it imo.
This campus is literally just made up of frats that glorify SA and the book makes it this thing that these girls are fighting to be the victim of…? Idk it was bizarre and at a certain point, I lost the plot in all the mess of the violent SA.
These men deserve nothing and they are all disgusting. The shit they do to the FMC is horrendous and she just keeps going back… idk I don’t really get it. It’s not for me.
