_jenny_k_'s review against another edition
And the whole giving the girl a background of trauma and rape thing really is just another big no no in muddying the waters of the plot and consent.
Plus, it wasn't a convincing chemistry between the two of them for me like they never have any actual conversations of substance that suggest they even actually like each other.
I'm really not trying to yuck other people's yums but the way this book is being passed of as a dark romance is worrying - it's a story about abuse, trauma and rape and for that reason I had to DNF

The trauma is strong in this one.
I have so many questions after this book. I'm not sure what I feel about this Lord-universe because I find it to unrealistic. Aaanyways, give me Tyson's book right now.
It has never taken me this long to read a book before and it's all because I had to take a break every other page. This book is dark. Read the goddamn TW if you have any!
Elli could be stronger. I think if you want very strong FMC Shantel's books aint for you. Elli has lots of trauma tho, so some of her behaviour is explained. But she don't have any money of her own? Couldn't she really just run away? Is the Lord's power that strong?? So many questions. I'm also starting to think the author writes weird stuff only for shock value 🤔 And the misogyny and sexism in this book is through the roof. You are warned.
