Carter Cross is a lunatic and I just couldn’t understand Aria’s love for him.

This is a dark romance with nice world building and well written characters. I was a bit hesitant at times about the romance but in the end I really liked both Aria and Carter and their character development.
Also, the formatting was so pretty, I love seeing pictures/art work in books. It makes the reading experience so much better.
I do recommend reading the content warnings before picking it up though.

cxizzybellcx's review against another edition
The fact that Carter makes aria KNEEL TO HIM to have some sort of control. It grinds my gears every time he has to mention Aria was nothing but a possession to him. And literally forces her to be with him, and give her all to him in order for Aria not to be traumatized more! I get Aria did it to survive, but she eventually liked it to the point where she begged him to stay!
Don’t even get me started on the plot either, but wait? What plot? There was legitimate no plot at all!! It was just mentions of Carter being obsessive and possessive over aria and aria trying to Survive her captures! The storyline would’ve been great had it actually been followed.
I don’t know…this book itself is beyond toxic. I hope I’m reading the same book as everyone else who gave it more than 3 stars.
