dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

0.5

I only gave it 2 stars because I can’t take away the fact that the plot was good, but as a whole, it was very hard to read. I skimmed through so much of it, I'm sure I missed a few things. I personally don’t like erotica, and I didn’t know this was that kind of book until I was already interested in the plot. This should be labelled as bad erotic fanfiction because that's what it was. The writing was juvenile and unenjoyable. While bullying is a form of abuse, this book is very much “I did it because I love you” and that’s abuse in its purest. It's not dark or brooding, it’s romanticising abuse. Not just that, but also absolutely blasphemous in every sense of the word. I'm not religious and even I had trouble with the disrespect. 10/10 would not recommend.
