I got sucked into this story so fast and it had me hooked throughout the entire story. I great romance with a good amount of drama. I know it was supposed to be dark, but I just hated how much Levi disrespected Astrid's personal autonomy and she just accepted it. I guess you could read betwee the lines and they eventually figured out a healthy balance, but it just came off as so toxic that I couldn't get passed it and had to deduct a star from my rating.
