- Disappointing.I was SO excited to read this, which makes the disappointment even worse. It started off strong: damaged characters, troubled histories, actual tension, a badass FMC and four burly MMCs. The potential was absolutely there. And then somewhere along the way, the plot took a back seat and the sex scenes took over the entire bloody car. I’m a huge dark romance fan. I love my smut. I am absolutely not the person clutching pearls over a dirty scene. But there’s a difference between spicy and just throwing increasingly crude sex at the page for the sake of it. After a while, it stopped adding anything to the story and started feeling like the story was just an inconvenient obstacle between sex scenes. The plot itself was fine, and I genuinely think there was something good hiding in here, which makes it all the more frustrating. I wanted the tension, the character development, the darkness, the chaos. Instead, I got a whole lot of smut that somehow left me wanting less. Imagine being a dark romance with four MMCs and still managing to disappoint me in the spice department. A tragic achievement, really.
- I am traumatized, to say the least, it was definitely an experience reading this book that I don't want to live again (or maybe I do), the weird thing is that it was a fast read and despite all the absurdity a semi enjoyable one, what does that say about me , IDK!
- “my old man sold me to the vipers, they own me now” what is this, 2012 one direction fanfiction???
- <div>Bruh this s••• was insane i don't want to remember it, it was just a lot</div>
