This book is generally very taboo, blurs the lines of consent a lot (I do NOT recommend to anyone who is disturbed by sexual assault scenes or threats of sexual assault several times). I went into it looking for a darker but good plotline. The plotline is interesting enough; I’m curious to see where it goes from here. The town certainly feels atmospheric. I wasn’t a fan of the romance and scenes like that. Ironically, I may be one of the few people just interested in the plot. Definitely look at trigger warnings.
