Purely SA with a side of convoluted plot. 

I love me some dark fantasy romance but this was not it. It can honestly barely be considered romance or fantasy. Painfully boring FMC that somehow everyone is instantly in love with —I was at least hoping the weird infatuation everyone has with her would be explained by the very drawn out, pointless, and mildly ridiculous plot point that *spoilers* the girl who’s been having prophetic dreams and telepathically talks to another instantly obsessed man, is a witch. 

This whole story feels so thrown together, messy, and honestly lazy. There are better books out there that deal with the trauma of SA. 

This should have maybe stayed in the google docs.
