Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. I love a dark romance, and this was definitely a dark romance. And a spicy one. The introduction of the characters had me intrigued from the start, needing to know more with every page I turned. However, once I got to 50%, I wondered where exactly the story was going. I felt the story went on a little longer than was necessary, with a few characters introduced that didn’t feel relevant, or some events could have been dealt with differently. The mood switches in this felt very abrupt at times, and I understood some of them, but it felt a little repetitive at times. All this to say, I did enjoy the story. And may continue the series to see how it pans out overall.
