I don’t mind taboo books, but this was just okay. Kind of tame, only the incest plot is kind of extreme. If you removed the blood relation it’s no different than any other abduction reverse harem or why choose book.

Would categorize this as erotic horror and not dark romance. Was overall, a pretty good read for someone who appreciated pitch black plots.
