It feels like the author just wanted to write her own version of The Final Girls Support Group, and I hated that book, and I might hate this one even more. Why do authors fall back on the “woman is crazy/going crazy” trope when they wanna have a “surprising” twist rather than just write a satisfying mystery/conspiracy with a rewarding resolution? I could see the ending coming from over a hundred pages away and it was even cheaper and slap-dash than I expected. Fuck this book.
The way that Violet is stripping Cam’s consent away from her in every sex scene and forcing her into kink roleplay is making me dry-heave into my mouth, and denying an orgasm until she played into that roleplay made me delete this book off my kindle app permanently. I hate to add another dnf to my already growing pile for this year but holy fuck what is wrong with this author? I’m scared about her personal definition of consent.
I wish there was a trigger tag for sexual abuse because forcing someone into a kink they very much don’t want to participate in—and actively say no to multiple times—qualifies in my opinion.
There were a couple good stories towards the end but otherwise too many parts of this collection aged like a glass of milk left out on a kitchen counter
