This book is insane in the best way! I was pleasantly surprised by this one - ok yes there were some very unrealistic plot lines and some characters that seemed to crowd the book - but the spicy scenes are SPICY and the relationship between to 2 MCs was really good

I fear the plot gets lost about 60% in but it was entertaining and I enjoyed the character development. But the yearning was excellent 

I will say.. the ENDING?!? I was out and then it hooked me back in!

I haven’t read a book done as engrossing as this in a long time. Both shockingly violent and sad, it really makes the reader question the reality of what is presented from our narrator.

This book is sooooo good! The perfect enemies to lovers. If you liked Quicksilver or Carissa Broadbent, this book hits similar notes. I cannot wait for book 2!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

What in the AI generated text is this? I’ve read my fair share of dark romance and this was very poorly written I couldn’t get thru it
