smut_church's review against another edition
4.0
Did I love every character in this book? Hell no. They all fucking suck.
Am I comparing these character's actions to real life? Obviously not. These people aren't real.
Was some of this book cringe? Yeah dude.. it was unbearable at times.
Could I put this book down? Absolutely not. I read it in one sitting.
The amount of people I see saying they don't condone these actions blows my mind. I don't think any of those people should be reading dark romance. I would throw up and adopt a new identity if a man talked to me like James did. But did I eat that mf shit up in the STORY? Absolutely I did.
It's not a perfect book, but damn, it was entertaining as hell. I actually didn't anticipate enjoying it as much as I did considering I don't typically enjoy CR/DR but shucks, I really liked it! Good thing I already bought every other book in the series because imma read 'em. The twists were crazy because I was flabbergasted when they all happened. Good stuff. 4/5 because it was good but didn't blow my mind.

"But we're all a little twisted, and there's no such thing as good and evil. There are only perspectives, and perceptions change depending on the angle.
People aren't static. Our morals aren't constant. They're variables, ever changing snd molding into different versions of themselves; energy that can be re-shifted and realigned."
