i dont even know how to rate this. it was so unsettling yet i couldn’t put it down. this book made me feel so many different things that i need to process….
i again don’t care for the repetitive phrases like “shell of my ear” or them constantly saying they hate each other lmao. like we get it!!
the spicy parts were SPICY!!!!! but also some made my stomach twist. also, the graphic/gorey scenes were almost too much for me and i couldn’t get images out of my head.
i did enjoy the moments of sincerity and intimacy sprinkled in in the later half of the book. idk if dark romance is for me??? or maybe just not this dark.
