The Penalty by Lynn Montagano

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I received this book as an ARC. I was able to read through about 10% of the book before DNF'ing. So about 45 pages. The reason I stopped reading is because MMC is very insufferable. I didn't want to read from his POV anymore. He exudes toxic "alpha" energy. Wanting to unalive another character in the beginning, wanting to protect his girlfriend, but also not speaking to her??? We don't get to her POV until chapter 6, and by then I had had enough of Xavier. I think maybe if the POV chapters flipped more often I could have gotten through more of the book.
