“You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted. You’re the only person I care about, the only part of my humanity that is left.”
“Say it. Tell me what I what to fucking hear.” Her breath hitched when I thrust my hips forward, burying myself deep in her. “Be my good girl.” Her nails dug into my forearms, crescent shapes breaking my skin. “I’m yours. I’ve been yours since the beginning.”
“Say my name as I fuck you.”
'I wondered what she’d think if she knew I killed a man simply for insulting her honor.'
'I felt a drop of her ✨cunt juice✨ on my lips and groaned as I licked it off.'

so on to the book itself now
of course, with all these tropes it just had to be good. i was totally anticipating this book coming out because it sounded so perfect. and it was!!
it had quick pacing, which was a bit too quick at times but still good. it hit all those tropes, the spice was immaculate and Ruin/Kostya was super hot. he was slightly tortured too and it was so sweet🥲
i’m also intrigued by the other characters we saw in this book. def wanna check out some more Jenika Snow after this solid read!
why -.5⭐️? i was missing a deeper element to this but it’s still:
4.5/5⭐️
3.9/5🔥
