My first dark romance. I wasn’t sure what to expect honestly. I appreciated that there was actually a decent plot to the book and it wasn’t all just smut, but clearly this type of relationship is toxic and not at all “ideal,” but then again, that’s what readers expect in a dark romance. A LOT of it felt like SA, even if her “body betrays her”. No means no. Quite dark and twisty for my usual taste but the ending left me needing to know what happens so I will still read the next one.
