TLDR - It felt like a teaser to book 2 not it’s own book -

I was really shocked by how few pages there were for this. Once I noticed it’s what made me squeeze it into my tbr but it didn’t feel like it’s own story. It honestly just felt like the first few chapters of the next book (which I’d hope would have more meat in it). I don’t blame the author as making this “book” free is good marketing but it definitely took me by surprise. I wouldn’t even class this as a novella as if doesn’t follow any kind of story arc

The smut was hot ish and dual pov was nice but we skipped past so much time it felt jilting. Normally that time would be where tension grows.

I really struggled with the MMC just because there’s certain things that make the “bad guy” actually bad and unlikeable to me. It’s the odd irony of a dark romance, what variant of dark stops the suspension of disbelief in this character.
