I don't have much to say about the story except that nothing stands out. Like I haven't read about any of this 1001 times. 😑 A big bad guy (we have to take his word for that) marries a girl to execute his revenge and after some weird ass occultic ceremonies they embark on their sex fest mingled with spanking sessions.
Open any Natasha Knight's book and you'll find Ivy and Santiago there under different names and similar circumstances.
Stock characters bore me to death. A spark of personality would be a nice touch. 🙏
P. S. Another supposedly dangerous anti-hero who is a softie? :) I would have appreciated to get a glimple of his dark side at least once instead of being told about it every 3rd page.

Eh, pretty bland except the last chapter.

Thx, Lau. 💛 I have nothing against softies but when the author tries to convince me that the" cinnamon roll " (I liked that one haha) is a dangerous, dark man? It feels weird and says volumes abt the author's writing skills. 👾
![⚔Irunía⚔](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1654453982p1/100476652.jpg)
I agree with everything you've pointed out. So bland and clichéd. I really couldn't put a face to anyone in the story. We only know that the hero is hot and dangerous, the h - underloved and naive, the brother - stupid and cruel, the mother - evil and uncaring cuz we're told so but why, how? What makes them like that? People are complex creatures and to give them 2-3 main traits is such a simplistic approach to developing ur characters. Many of my friends liked or even loved this book so I felt kinda lonely here lmaooo, thanks for sharing ur thoughts with me😌

Thx, Dora!! 😇 Honestly a lot of my friends and people on GR in general liked this so it could be a hit or a miss for you. My main problem with the book is the writing style that failed to engage me+ typical formularic characters

Thank you so much, Nayeli. 🖤 Ikr? If you can write a softie why not admit it and so be it? Who are these authors trying to convince when they put words like badass or monster in their characters' mouths ? 😂

Debbie, I HOPE you'll like it better than me 😇😘

Yes, I agree. That's my problem with this author's books: they really are so formulaic. I find myself saying the same thing in my reviews...even as I keep reading them. I do like the gothicness in them,

I get it. Sometimes certain author keeps writing things I'm not okay with, but it doesn't dissuade me from reading their 📖
