it was ok

I have read many fucked up books, and never once have I been triggered. But I guess the saying is true “there is always a first time for everything”. This book triggered me so badly, and I can’t really pinpoint what it was about it. What I do know is that I can remember clenching my ass so hard during a scene that it looked like I was about to fall off the bed. With that being said CW for rape, and its a rough scene. I have never hated a man more than I did when reading this specific scene. The most vial human ever!

I want to touch a little bit on why this book didn’t work for me. The interludes. Wow, did they throw me off. I feel like these breaks really didn’t do anything for the story other than disturb my reading experience. I really hate bashing on how an author writes/formats their books, it’s their art after all, and who am I to say anything about it? But I feel like if it weren’t for those breaks I would’ve really enjoyed this. Ass clenching and all. I always say take my review with a grain of salt because I'm in the minority with my rating. For most of the folks that I read this book with, this story really did it for them. But for me it was a big no.


Thanks to Night Worms for my copy!

Dale @Travis. They literally says in her review that “if it weren’t for those breaks I would’ve enjoyed this. Ass clenching and all.” So your opinion that their two star rating stems from “oh the book made you feel things.” Is rubbish. They’ve highlighted why the book didn’t work for them and it’s a valid reason, if you loved the book good for you but don’t invalidate other peoples opinions.

Dustin "A legitimate reviewer" lol. Someone disagreed with you about a book, dude. No reason to be a dick about it.
