Definitely entertaining. I did feel like the main characters were pretty stupid at some points. Not in a relatable way, but an irritating 'how did you not even consider this option' way. Overall a strange mix of heavy emotional topics, spice and mystery. I think there were just too many ideas thrown into this one.
Ps. Enzo was just kind of the worst imo.

I honestly had no idea what to expect outside of knowing this was dark romance. This is my first time reading H.D. Carlton and it didn’t disappoint. Was it packed full of triggers? Yes. So be wary of those and check before indulging.
Grumpy sunshine to the point that bully tropes were at play. From start to finish I was fully immersed and damn… it got hot in there 🥵
I’d definitely recommend this to fellow dark romance lovers. Enzo and Sawyer’s story is one that’s going to stick with me, and something I see myself revisiting and reading again.

Additionally, the very uncomfortable tension between all characters caused by the lack of communication and very tiring personalities - I was actually tired and bored of their behaviour, which was always the same, very monotonous and there was no reflection at all when it comes to their relationship.
Very very spicy and detailed sex scenes description but the plot and character development were very poor.
