I honestly do not know how to feel about this one.

I just started exploring dark-themed books, so I do not have much materials to compare it to.
But I find myself questioning my taste in reading. 

It started quite strong, but it lost me with the plot jumping from high to mid to low and all over the place. 
The characters were loveable for a second, then get boring as it goes. 

Almost dnf it at some point because the timing of spicy scenes came a little off than I expect them to be.  

A little disappointed, but it is what it is.
