I love dark romances but this was just a huge mess. I felt weird all the time and not in a fun way. Not a big fan

There are a lot of things I hated about this book. I don’t even know if I liked it, really. 

But I was somehow still addicted to turning each page, and will be continuing with the series. 

Basically, I need therapy as much as every single character in this book does but I relate to none of them and hate them all.

quick read and kept me hooked. only liked Alex and Kai towards the end. Damon can go to hell idc. didn't appreciate the sexism and sexual assault at all. if the men in this book were a little less fucked up it would be perfect.
