This book had me thinking I should call my therapist. There's gotta be something wrong with me for enjoying it. 
That said, I loved it. I read it over and over. It's pretty dark at some points, so be warned, but the writing is good and i enjoyed the villain not turning into a hero for once.

Overall this book just wasn’t for me. I don’t vibe with the writing style and I came away from it feeling the characters were underdeveloped. For me, it almost felt like reading fan fiction, and while I’m not opposed to a spicy book, the lack of connection I felt between the main characters left them feeling a bit unfulfilling. 
So, yeah, I didn’t hate it, but it won’t be taking a permanent place on my bookshelf.

you know that one tumblr post that says villains make better love stories because they’d be willing to burn down the world for their loved ones while heroes will always be burdened by their unwavering morals? yeah i’m thinking about that while reading this book

the smut was pretty good! feeling weird how the girl doesn’t know her worth until she gets with the guy! and the guy is literally horrible which i guess is the point but man. if i saw him in real life i think i would run (so unfortunate that he’s hot…) i did not see the twists at the end and i thought the book set them up pretty well. 3/5 for the spice and suspense
