I think it was pretty well written but I was not prepared for the level of darkness.

Loved the plot and the shifting dynamic between the 2mmcs. I’ve read the ebook version before so knew all the plot twists before going in but it didn’t loose any of the anticipation. Was a bit disappointed with dual narration as the narration of the mmc within the fmc’s PoV chapters didn’t shift between the characters and vice versa so that was a bit annoying

Absolutely addicting. This story is so incredibly unique. Very dark themes from seriously kinky edge play to straight up murder. 
The M/M romance and smut was unexpected, but well written and so incredibly fitting for the story. 
Two sociopaths and an agoraphobic in a true love triangle. 
Full marks for the kinky uniqueness. Points off cause the darkness is genuinely scary.
