4.0
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: HFN
POV: multi 1st person
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: abuse, CSA (non-descriptive), death, drug trafficking, dubious consent, gun violence, human trafficking, kidnapping, murder, organized crime, PTSD, SA (non-descriptive)
Kinky Content: anal, anal play, biting, bondage (zip ties, handcuffs, rope, garland, string lights), breathe play, breeding kink, cum play, deep throating, degradation, dirty talk, Dom/sub dynamics, double penetration, dual penetration, dubcon, eyes on me, fancy peens, fear play, felching, fingering, forced orgasms, frotting, hair pulling, hand necklaces, irrumatio, mild knife play, manhandling, mask kink, nipple play, oral, orgasm denial, primal play, public sex, slapping, spanking, spit as lube, stalking kink
standalone: standalone story in the Tangled Duet world
final thoughts: this was a fun, kinky, dark read that had me on the edge of my seat. There was a lot of dark content but the darkest stuff (for me- SA/CSA) was more insinuated and hinted at rather than described which I appreciated. The rest of the scary, gore, and triggering content was described at varying levels and helped paint the dark storylines.
This could use a bit of polishing in some spots, but I enjoyed the story so much that it didnβt matter much to me as a reader. Ally reminded me a bit of Sibby from the Haunting Adeline universe which was fun.
