I wanted to start this year with a dark romance, don’t ask me why 🙈. Haven’t read one in awhile so I wanted to get back into it. 🤭

This book, for the most part, delivered exactly what it promised! There was tension, questionable choices, red flags everywhere. Again, I know what I signed up for. 🥳 For a dark romance, it was truly dark. Surely, there were lighter scenes but for the most part, there were some heavily violent scenes. So definitely check out the trigger warnings provided by the author! 

The relationship between the two main characters was quite explosive. Both  context and conditions of them meeting, as mentioned, were very questionable. But then again, I’m not the moral police and we’re here for the vibes lmao. 🫣 It was interesting seeing how obsessed with her Gabriel became.  Likewise, with Amelia. 😏 I never thought these characters were ever going to be able to catch a break, to be honest, because something wrong would always happen. 

The potential was great. In fact, my issues surprisingly are not about any characters. Although usually I am able to overlook editing issues when reading for fun and vibes, somethings here were throwing me off. The main issue, which I found quite confusing at times, was that the tense would change even within the same paragraph. Again, sometimes I could be willing to overlook this. Especially if it doesn’t happen often. However, it was throwing me out of the story because it was very frequent. 😭 and I felt so bad because I really wanted to enjoy this more 😢.. 

I’m not trying to be mean and absolutely nothing negative about the lovely author! In fact, I am more than happy and willing to check out the other books she’s written! ☺️ I’m just hoping this was a singular issue with this book. As it’s my first book by this author, I’m not sure if it happens elsewhere 🙈😩. 

I am very excited for the other guys who are getting  books in the same universe though! There is a specific one I’m soooo excited to read about 👀❤️
