Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
College
Inexperienced, stubborn and fierce FMC 
Psychopath and obsessed MMC
Secret societies (along with mafia vibes)
He falls first and hard 
The banter is pretty great with the famous English sarcasm šŸ„°

I like this audiobook, the narration is performed in dual by Sebastian York, Josie Minor, Aaron Shedlock, Wen Ross and Kylie Stewart.

My only issue with the book is the 2nd chapter and how it is treated all along the book. 
It is basically SA and a particularly degrading one, it made me really uncomfortable, also because it is romanticized all along the book and no it is not.

The first attempt to read this book, few month ago, was a failure.
I stopped within 30 pages and the chapter still remains an issue for me (I will explain below).

I tried again this time with the audiobook and it was a way better experience.

It is not quite an ennemies to lovers but we can relate.
Virgin and awakening FMC 
Psychopath MMC
Secret societies (along with mafia vibes)
He falls first 

Now I have two issues (big ones):
- the first ā€œspice sceneā€ and how it is treated all along the book.
It is basically a rape and a particularly degrading one, it made me really uncomfortable the first time and still do also because it is romanticized all along the book and no it is not.

- the POV of two characters (one chapter each) that give no information whatsoever. These donā€™t add anything to the story or the other characters. It adds pages but nothing to the plot.

Nevertheless the narrators are really good. So thanks to them.

Itā€™s okay for dark romance but as far as stabby stabby goes there wasnā€™t enough gore in my personal opinion šŸ˜…. Anywho the plot was good. Too many characters to keep up with.
