Was mildly disappointed with this book. It's mainly a constant rate fantasy. I did like the mix of ghost story, murder mystery, romance the genre had to it.

this book made me want hit myself over the head with my phone. if you take the smut at face value, then sure, it was okay but the whole rest of the book had a plot that never needed to happen. Woman gets sexually assaulted multiple times after she says no but it’s all cool!! because her body is reacting!! and there is clearly nothing wrong with that :) Zade is a rapist who hunts down other rapists and acts like nothing is wrong and that he is above that. potential readers and actual readers, please don’t actually like guys like him. also how many times can this author use “your body weeps for me”
that phrase is cringy as hell.

overall, if you ignore the whole rape aspect, the smut was fine but if you wanted a good romance book, you’d be sorely mistaken.
