melanie_2313's review against another edition

challenging dark tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

La plume n'est pas incroyable. Beaucoup d'info dump au début et les monologues intérieurs et dialogues sont gênants de fou à certains moments.

J'ai aimé les aspects psychologiques mais ils n'étaient vraiment pas amenés de manière subtile. C'était un peu comme lire des paragraphes de "Apprends quelques fun facts sur la psychologie super rapidement" ; comme un micro cours.

J'ai aimé les plot twists, même si quelques uns étaient prévisibles.

Pas contre, je ne me remettrai jamais du fait que Jonas appelle son pénis "la bête". Je meurs de rire tellement que c'est gênant. La honte.

A ne pas mettre entre les mains des moins de 18 ans. Le contenu est extrême, gore, violent, malsain, etc. Bref, les jeunes ne devraient vraiment pas lire ce genre de livres. Il y a des dark romances beaucoup plus abordables s'ils veulent quand même en lire.
