Holy shit, I finished a book. AND, holy shit this book was dark but I loved it. Loved the age gap romance and the two main characters. Surprises galore. Did I mention it was dark? Check out the content warnings for sure. I will be reading more of this author.

More fucked up than I anticipated but good nevertheless. The content warnings for this go crazy lmfao. Did almost stop reading once or twice because of how weird it got, but I still.....enjoyed it....and kept coming back??? Sure hope this didn't awaken anything in me. Read this if you like pain during sex

I loved this. Dark and tantalizing, mysterious and heart felt, desperation and obsession. Check trigger warnings ⚠️ this is not for the faint of heart nor for those looking for a fluffy romance. This was truly captivating and I was lost to the world around me as I read well into the wee hours of the morning. It kept me up at night, thinking about it.

This book was presented to me as a "dark romance to read during Halloween", but that is not the case. I know i should have read the content warnings.. So i understand that its my fault that i got pretty triggered while reading this... i technically didnt finish because the last two chapters were really intense. It was an interesting plot but it definitely went too far..
