I was really contemplating how many stars I was going to give this book. The plot at the end was surprisingly good and I realized that I continued reading because of the storyline. Usually with these type of books I don’t really care about the storyline. But this surprised me and I actually ended up liking the characters. Also liked the Romance aspect because it was a bit different and also violent or toxic. Anyway I really like the dark aspect of the book but I didn’t get why it also had to have this sort of ending. It really annoys me that every single romance  book has the same last chapter.
