Spice is off the charts, but the swings from we are good to we are not good are wild and all over the place; the motivations completely out there. I mean, after Credence, this is what this author writes, if that is your thing, go ahead, you will like it.

I think this just wasn’t my cup of tea, but if you like dark romance I recommend giving it a try at least! I personally didn’t like certain characters to an extent that they made the whole book worse to read, but other parts and characters I did enjoy. All the side characters are quite flat imo. The flipping between past and present really worked for me, though I can see it not working for others.
