3.0

The idea is brilliant and the subplots too and I love it. I like the smut that's not the problem but I think the book should have been longer and expand those plots a little more in depth so we can empathize even more with the characters (the twins are my favorites for now), also because the ideas are really interesting. I love the world building too. At the end of the day if youre looking for a short dark romance with good smut and don't care much about the plot you will enjoy the book.
Can wait for the second book to know more about the history and the characters!!
