I genuinely thought this was contemporary romance and I was SO SO wrong. I don't normally check for trigger warnings as I fortunately don't find most anything triggering. However, I wish I had just maybe read the blurb of this book or some reviews before I started because it was a lot, and if I had gone in with the expectation that there were going to be some pretty dark moments, I wouldn't of had such a visceral reaction to it.
Anyway, that being said, I didn't dislike the book, in fact it kind of has me hooked - now that I know what I'm reading, I'm much more on board with the direction of the plot. I think it is a testament to Nikki Sloane's writing and storytelling, that I reacted so strongly to the scene (Not going to spoil anything here, but if you've read it you know what I mean.)

There was one moment in main characters relations that made me throw this book for few months but in the end I understood the meaning of it, but without the context it made me feel sick.
And the culmination of the book is not for those who can't stand really crazy dirty scenes...
The second book kept me entertained much more!
*Greek mythology vibes are used pretty cool!
