The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because of the amount of questions there are in the narration. It’s so offputting. That and the fact that unfortunately we didn’t see the characters much in the second half of the book interacting and they keep thinking the other is dead. I love this book and although the tw are harsh and there is a lot that is not warned for, it’s a good book. My only comment is some of the narration is odd and a few other elements here and there.

Who would have thought that smut can have a decent plot as well?
I was very surprised with this book, it is so taboo and basically breaks all boundaries. But since they are not human, it is also not that uncomfortable to read?
The slow burn between the main characters is excrutiating!
