Re-read! Still a very fun book for me. Weirdly I thought there were scenes that didn’t happen in this book, not sure if I imagined them or if the physical edition is different. ( I previously read it on KU) I only wish we had seen more of Aran and Zed, that would have bumped it to 5 stars for me.

Okay so this review is for the series in general. Is it a perfectly written series that everyone will love? No. This series is definitely not for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. The characters are unhinged on a whole new level. It's refreshing to see the FMC be flawed and honestly remain flawed in certain aspects. The characters are varied but all unhinged in their own ways. I couldn't put this series down, especially when I got to the back half of the series with Arans story. There are definitely some continuity errors, and at times it seems repetitive with the retelling of the same plot points through different POV's, but overall, I loved this series. 
If you are not into reverse harem, if you don't like MLM, then this series is not for you. There are strong themes of mental illness, trauma, substance abuse, and PTSD. 
I loved the characters, I loved the dynamics between the characters, I loved the premise of the series, I think it was interesting and something that I haven't seen before.

I’d heard lots of hype about this series so was excited to start it finally but was really disappointment in the writing and characters. They came across so juvenile and with no real depth or reality to their personalities at all. They were all whiney pick-me’s and all the interactions with the FMC are awful. Anyone who is not the FMC or her sister (or an old woman is just referred to as ‘slut’ or ‘bitch’ which is so basic and the male characters were all annoying except for Zed. You can tell all this book is really geared up for is sex but not in a good way.

In fairness though, I think the world building is good for series - it’s different to what I’ve read before and I feel like she’s setting it up for much more throughout the remaining books with different realms and species which is cool. 

Will not be continuing these books personally.

Okay, like dark romance I guess. If you can even call it that. 

girlie got kidnapped and instantly just kinda accepts it for now also highkey toxic

 
Like if you're searching for a omegaverse book with a pretty cocky female lead and relations with high key mixed messages, this is for you. 

I personally got it recommended as a enemies to lovers book which I don't entirely see. 
In conclusion, it wasn't the worst I read, not the best either, but it did manage to captivate me, considering I inhaled in like 2 days :D. 
I'm off to read the second one now.
