I’ve read this a bunch of times, but people always recommend the GraphicAudio. I’m so glad I listened! This story never gets old and I loved hearing a whole cast play these characters. 
This was paced really well too. I noticed a lot of things that I didn’t catch when reading, which was cool too. Listening also made me realize how dark and intense this book was. Hearing it out loud made that really sink in for me and appreciate how much these characters really go through.

I went into this book expecting something totally overhyped and all about sexual tension with zero plot and I was dreading it. I didn't expect to read something so intense and dark! I have trouble wrapping myself in books as I read but with this one, I was immersed every time I picked it up. I won't say the writing is perfect or that it's a book every person needs to read, but if you like tense and vivid books and aren't afraid of the romantic moments, read it. I'm glad I let myself enjoy it.

Look it may not be the most well written and there are some grey lines that are towed in this book, but it definitely is addicting and I definitely will be reading the next books.  If you’re looking for an easy fantasy read that is slightly dark, it does the job.  It’s cliche, but if you’re just here for the vibes, do it.
