adventurous dark emotional sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

book can be broken into three parts. sex,  descriptions of food, and the characters getting tortured and traumatized over and over. 

the backstory specifically given to reyes feels kinda racist and needlessly over the top. but all the characters in these books have traumatic and convoluted backstories for the sake of drama 🤷‍♀️

 i can't speak about the ebook but the fact that there wasn't a single trigger warning on the audiobook is criminal.

This is the relationship I was waiting to read about since Book 1. I loved both MCs! They both went through so much before meeting each other, and then came through a lot together. Really well done. Good angst.
