That Sik Luv by Jescie Hall
** READ REVIEWS ABOUT TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK. The author’s trigger warnings do not cover everything **
I’m new to dark romance and enjoyed this author’s books Hawke and Kid, and this one has so many good reviews I wanted to give it a try.
The story itself is interesting. Corrupt system, people doing evil under the guise of religion, breaking down the system, etc.
I had issues with a few things
1- THE TRIGGER WARNINGS DON’T COVER IT ALL!!! Literal r*pe and s*xual abuse of a minor is described, and this is not in the trigger warnings
2 - FMC was raised in an extremely religious, cult-like environment. Aero's relationship with her is meant to come across as empowering but in reality the groomed a very young, vulnerable girl. He even says he wants her depending on him and only him.
3- Consent?! In certain scenes she very clearly says no and “promise me you won’t…” and yet he does
4 - I didn’t feel any love from him, only ownership. We love an obsessive, possessive MMC, but he needs to love her too.
