shaleen_s's review

• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No

This book took a very, very disturbing turn and it just kept getting worse at each turn. There is absolutely no redemption for this guy. Lincoln needs to be in jail or institutionalised because he kept committing crimes and never saw the problem. Just all round very concerning that these deeply dangerous and predatory  behaviours is being pushed as “dark romance”.

per my spreadsheet:
no. no no no. this was so unhinged. girl needs friends wtf. i felt like i missed some crucial details too, like suddenly something happened? suddenly someone knows something and usually we got to know how or why but then like- we didn't? still entertained tho. almost missed my boarding group 

i’m gonna read the next one tho. 

spice 🌶  - a 4 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 1 days
did it make me cry? - NO.
