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.

I can’t say this was the best dark romance book I have ever read, but I can say with 10% certainty that after reading half of the book and then attempting to sleep. I got no sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about what might happen next, and how Blakely and Ryat were going to either fall in love or kill each other... Most likely the latter.
While there were so many amazing kinks in this book, I did find myself tensed and anxious at how some of them were portrayed and played out in the book. I wish at some point during their relationship a little more discussion about boundaries, hard limits, and safe-words would’ve happened, but alas… it will not keep me from reading the next book in the series next time in I’m the mood for something super dark and kinky!

Id recommend for a fun yet cringy laugh out loud "dark romance" with A LOT of spice. It's almost so over the top it's not exciting.
