Definitely should’ve had a list of trigger warnings, did not expect the darkly emotional aspects such as selfharm and depression.  Besides that, entertaining story with good romance.

Honestly this is a whole lot of fun. My best friend has been trying to get me to read these for probably 10 years now and I finally got around to it… and I wished I hadn’t waited! It’s not perfect, but the story is well done and it’s quite the page turner. Can’t wait to keep reading the series!

I thought the book was alright. The writing isn't bad and I find the characters to be rather interesting. I thought the pacing was rather slow and it didn't really pick up until the last few chapters. I don't care for the relationship between Rose and Dimitri.
