If we are rating spice this book does it dark but also there’s tons of it to enjoy. 7/10 depending on your tastes. Quality of spice is a mixed bag as it’s very cat and mouse, hyperaware dumb girl and smart guy. The plot was unique but I wish there was more of it and I wish Z had more depth than what is initially presented. Overall not satisfied and maybe the sequel would fix some complaints but unsure if that’s possible.

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.

The content doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I could handle darker. It does bother me that it's unnecessarily long and poorly written. Why does smut equal plot holes and over-explanations? I guess not all dark romances can be written by Anne Rice.
