Definitely lots of triggers (which it makes in the beginning) and I had a hard time with some of them because I had been through similar or the same, but overall the book was so good and I loved how H.D. Carlton represented those things so well

I enjoyed this book though I definitely should’ve read the warnings first. I knew it was dark but the smut was even darker! The mystery in this was amazing! Kept me wanting to read more. I think the romance was a little toxic but I was down for it anyway. (Some of the things he said / did would be unforgivable in my book.)

Spoiler

Happy ending for the MC! It was looking bleak but that made it worth it!
