    I feel so seen. I wanted to like this book so badly but it was actually horrible to me. I think I like the way everyone depicted this book way more vs the actual book.

    I feel this sm. Idk how people, especially so many, can like it and even ROMANTICISE it. I was so baffled and traumatised I couldn't even finish it.

    me personally, i just searched on spotify: reading music and it’s just basically instrumental music. for me, it helps get more into the world of the book im reading and drown out background noise that could distract me. but yea the playlists in books would definitely distract me

    Respect your opinion. Right now there seems to be a huge trend of smut books blowing up...and I read horror. So when my kindle recommended this read to me...I was intrigued but there was just too much.... too much creamed in with a odd pacing. I felt alot could have been cut out.

    Well frankly speaking, dark romance is not similar to romance. Romance is a literal attraction but we forget the dark part here. And you kinda need to read part 2 to get the whole romance part together.

    @9:03 I actually love a good steamy spice scene on paper but also need a lot of plot to substantiate it ….books with zero plot and all smut seem pointless to me, just watch porn if that’s what someone wants 😂 I’m also here for the spooky haunted vibes in this book but the second half really dragged …I still gave it 4 stars and will read hunting mainly because I feel I have to now 😂

    I just wanna know why people read a book that they already know they would not like? Like did you all read the trigger warnings ? You were ok with it and started reading it and then just suddenly hate the book for a thing that you already knew it would happen? I think you all need help actually not the people honestly liking it
