cyodis96's review against another edition

Uhm. This is actual trash and I was angry the entire book. Carter is a terrible person and Aria has no backbone. She kept talking about how she had all this fight in her but she was slowly losing it…not once did I see any ounce of fight. Not only that, but how do you manage to have secrets in a 1st person POV. We never got any conclusive explanation as to why he was doing what he’s doing. This is just romanticizing Stockholm syndrome. I like dark romance. This was not it.

dark medium-paced

2.0

This is a dark romance. Emphasis on dark. From what I understand All He Ever Was is the author’s way of healing from her own traumas, and I understand the point. I can see some of myself in Aria, but Carter pisses me off in a way that I’m not sure I can explain.
