I'm so sorry to everyone that enjoyed this book, please don't take this review the wrong way.. but this was <b>not</b> for me. If you enjoyed this book, then I'm happy for you and please just ignore this review.

I realistically should've DNF'd this instead of continuing on with it but it is what it is. I thought the writing was bad. It felt very juvenile to me and I didn't care for any of the characters. Vad was especially awful. He had so many cringey lines and is such a drama queen. I'm not sure if it's just me, but his possessiveness so soon in the relationship was a complete turn off. I didn't like any of the sexual encounters either. I just found this book gross instead of attractive. Maybe this is because I couldn't stand their dynamic or the characters, but I genuinely found them both incredibly frustrating. Also, don't get me wrong.. I love a good dark romance, but this was not that.

If Vad wasn't a character in this book, then the story might not have been too bad but I couldn't get past him.

And I'm sorry, but I have to say that not every single (dark) romance book has to end with the two main characters wanting children. I had hopes initially that this book wouldn't turn out this way given that Vad stated he had a vasectomy.. but BAM! Right at the end he hits Corvina with "I reversed my vasectomy."


I had at least one other RuNyx book on my TBR and I think after this one, I might have to remove it.
