Absolute brain rot. The writing felt like a horny highschool Wattpad submission. Nothing that should warrant a multiple book series…

is this even close to a somewhat decent book? no. did I have a great time and fall in love with Ryat Archer? hell yeah I did
it lost a star due to

everything that happened with her mom at the end and that Matt didn’t have a painful enough death, it felt a little like throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck with not a ton of success. the rest of the book was fantastic

I ate this book up. It's a dark book and I would not recommend this for beginners because ryat is dark really dark. I absolutely loved every part of this book I thought the way the plot builds up was perfect , loved the way the characters were I just wished authors would stop making FMC'S so naive and make them strong willed , and just maybe once up the MMC'S

Other than that the book is just wow , I loved the way ryat's character development progressed through the book I also wished we could have gotten a bit more of how they started loving each other but again other than that the book is great.

I devoured the book , ate it up so quick and I just really enjoyed it.

If your not a begginer looking for a dark romance book this is ur book bestie

Don’t get me wrong, this book and the world it sets up is TOXIC, but I was completely caught in a trance and wanting more! If you think about this book in the realm of reality then you will likely be too distracted by the misogyny, entitlement, violence, and overall red flags of our MMC, and respective red flags of the FMC for being so attracted to it all, but if you can separate it then you might just find yourself having some fun. One of those “it couldn't be me,” but a thrill ride to read.

This might be the worst book I’ve ever read. I only managed to finish it because I buddy read it with a friend and ya girl ain’t a quitter. But, wow. It is truly super bad. The characters have no personalities besides being horny or in Blake’s case, being horny while crying. There’s too much sex (yes, that’s possible), a ridiculous amount of repetition, and for the love of all things holy, STOP telling us what song is playing at any and all given moments. The plot made 0 sense and the big finale was haphazard and lackluster after too many pages of repeat build up. Also, complex sentences are a thing, commas can be really fun, or perhaps may I suggest a semi colon?

a dark romance masterpiece! i really enjoyed reading this one although i was actually expecting it to be a bit darker than it actually was because of all the reviews i read and heard about on bookstagram. i mean, don't get me wrong, it was really dark and there were lots of quite morally questionable scenes, but it still didn't get me totally freaked out if you know what i mean? i fell for ryat the second he appeared (don't we all love the broody, morally-grey dark-haired guys?!) and i found blake to be a quite nice fmc, too. nonetheless, she sometimes seemed a bit too..idk eager?? to be degraded and all that and it didn't make her seem like a very confident fmc. however, she got some real nice badass properties and some real bite, which i enjoyed pretty much. some twists and turns felt a bit overdramatic and didn't make that much sense to me as to why they were incorporated in the story. and i am not the biggest fan of all the

knocking the fmc up, breeding kink, loads of kids kinda stuff

to have a happy ending. still, it was a great book and as a sucker for dark romance i highly recommend reading it! i am also looking forward to "the sinner" as the fanart of sin is already making me drool lol.
