Not a fan of the dynamic but it’s really my own fault for not reading more about the book.

TW:

Stalking, kidnapping, SA, abuse, just all kinds of ickiness going on that I was not a fan of. Got the first book on sale super cheap and decided to just get both since they’re shorter books. Mistake on my part.

I will say, the voice actors are really good. pleasant voices, great acting. 5 starts on that front.

Spoilers below!

He never revealed that he stealthed her by bribing the doc to not give her the birth control shot so he could knock her up. That’s mega messed up and is a form of SA in my opinion. Also the reactions of Callista and Harper when the find out Hayden is a psychopathic murderer and stalker is so far out of reality it was laughable. But I understand NOW that this is a dark fantasy novel, so if that’s what gets you going, have at it. It’s very unrealistic but still is triggering if you’re not in the right mindset.

I kind of wish everything had turned on Hayden at the end. Like she leaves him, he gets arrested and punished by the justice he loves so much. And Callista either gets an abortion or gives it up for adoption. Or she kills him for killing her father. And for sure gets a tattoo removal. Which was also messed up for him to do while she was drugged and injured.
