Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but I didn’t enjoy this book.
It was really hard to get into, mainly because the writing felt very basic. The descriptive language was juvenile, the storyline felt undeveloped, and the “spicy” scenes were way too cringe-worthy. I also had to keep going back and re-reading to see if I missed details, but most of them just weren’t there to begin with.
It wasn’t the worst dark, borderline fantasy romance I’ve ever read, but I won’t be looking for anything else by this author again.
