This had an interesting premise, with the potential to be an amazing book. However, there were waaayyy too many grammar errors that took me out of the story. I'm convinced there was no editor of any sort.

The "spicy' scenes had me giggling. Vad's possessiveness and frequent use of "good girl" had me hysterical. Corvina's possessiveness had me hysterical.

The book dragged for me. I didn't enjoy it. I wanted to hurry up and get it over with so I could move on to the next book. I felt relief when I reached the ending. Honestly, the ending was the best part about this book. It didn't even creep me out or scare me. Description is key when writing about a creepy ass castle and death. Give me goosebumps. Give me spine tingling. Give me nightmares. Or don't write a "horror".

If I could give this 1 million stars, I would. I listened to this on audio, mostly with my husband who doesn't like steamy books, and we were both dying laughing. The ending was *chef's kiss*. I can't wait to read book two

This one took me awhile to get into. I think maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it? Not sure but it felt a lot longer than the first two.

I can't relate to being rich, but I can relate to the part about seeking everyone else's approval and being in love with someone no one approves of, along with the abuse. This was the perfect amount of fluff, heartache, emotional turmoil, comedy, romance, and everything else I look for in a rom com.

Creepy, chilling, spine tingling. I got goosebumps which is impressive for me. I just wish there was more depth to Adrian as a character & more backstory on the family.
