This book was alright. While I liked some parts, it reminded me a lot of a more developed Wattpad or AO3 story, and while there is a place for that, it wasn’t what I expected. It was very dark & gory. 
I disagree that you need to read the books before this in the series - I didn’t know it was a series until the end, & had no trouble following the plot and other details.
