myinvinciblesummer's review
DNF - stopped at 64% (like another reviewer, which I’m amused we somehow managed to call it at the same very specific place)
This was listed as CNC but the consent is far more dubious than that.
I also couldn’t connect with the characters. The men were treating her like she’s an idiot and demanding she have zero secrets or things she doesn’t want to share like they had done anything to earn that other than being alphas? The FMC also seems to have zero personality. I need to care about at least one character.
Also - her Mom is raped and violently murdered as punishment. I did not see that coming and it was super triggering. It could have been implied but the thing the killers say while they do it was just too jarring.
