But it wasn't all spice and kink! There's revenge, murder, a burgeoning love story (that I believed a bit more than Rae and Leon's), a LOT of trauma, and a death cult to an eldritch god....
It's a somehow spicy yet traumatic read if you like dark romance, but be sure to read the triggers!

Wow. I’ve read dark romance before but this was a WHOLE another level. I really did enjoy Zane and Junipers dynamic tho and Harley did a great job of including it in the trilogy but also making it a stand alone. Like I wasn’t bored with any of the repetition of information or plot points which was awesome

I still recognize that this book was well written and did lots of things right, I just couldn't click with it for some reason.

This book took me a long time to read. I had to take many breaks while reading because the subject matter felt so sole consuming and serious.
